Social Sciences - Geschichte | | Italienisch Begriff oder Satz: bigolante | From an article about Venice for a tourist magazine:
...“bigolanti”, venditori ambulanti che commerciavano “porta a porta” piccole quantità [of water].
These existed at the same time as the "acquaroli" of my previous post, in the 14th century for a few hundred years. I understand what they did, but I don't know the correct English term for it. |
