Un sellaio (badeddàru) al lavoro
Sellai a Piazza
Come ho spiegato nei due post 1700 - Mezzi di trasporto turisti e non e 1800 - Mezzi di trasporto turisti e non prima dell'avvento e diffusione dell'automobile si usavano le cavalcature (asini, muli, raramente cavalli) e le lettighe per gli spostamenti e, ovviamente, anche per i lavori nell'agricoltura che rappresentava, sino alla metà degli anni '50, l'attività economica più importante delle nostre zone. Pertanto, erano diffuse le attività artigianali concernenti la manutenzione del mezzo di locomozione e trasporto come i 'nferrascècchi (i maniscalchi che, assieme ai fabbri, avevano a Piazza anche un Sodalizio) o i staffèri-sèrvi (gli staffieri-servitori che anche loro erano riuniti in un Soladlizio). Anche a Piazza sino agli anni '70, esistevano numerosi sellai che venivano chiamati bardeddàri (da bardèdda, diminutivo di bàrda, bàsto, sella) che vendevano, oltre che corde di tutte le qualità e misure, anche i finimenti che servivano a "vestire" il quadrupede e a condurlo o attaccarlo alle lettighe o ai carretti (briglie, capezze, staffe, testiere, redini, morso, imbragature, martingale e pettorali). Un giorno dello scorso agosto il sig. Filippo Taormina, che da giovane aveva lavorato con lo zio bad'ddàru, mi ha aiutato a ricordarne un buon numero, aggiungendo anche l’ubicazione del loro locale-magazzino. Eccoveli: Brischetta Calogero in via Roma, Capizzi in via Monte, Garao nella salita Trigona, Lo Bello in via Mendoza, Militello Mario in via Umberto/Purgatorio, Prestifilippo, Taormina Vincenzo alle Botteghelle/via Carmine.

First off I would like to say awesome blog!
RispondiEliminaI had a quick question in which I'd like to ask if
you don't mind. I was interested to find out how you center
yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing. I have had a tough time clearing my thoughts
in getting my thoughts out. I do take pleasure in writing
however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are usually wasted simply just trying
to figure out how to begin. Any suggestions or hints? Kudos!
Do not create problems, it also begins by listening to your curiosity to know, to know and to know. Hello
EliminaI absolutely love your blog and find a lot of your post's to be what precisely
RispondiEliminaI'm looking for. Would you offer guest writers to write content to suit your
needs? I wouldn't mind producing a post or elaborating on most of the subjects you write
about here. Again, awesome website!
