This is just for starters

could be...
Paste
Tooth Paste?
Pastry
Pasta
Paté
Ink
Speed
Qualities
Soldering
Glue

Maybe:
(ink)paste spreader(printing press)
A dentrifice delivery man/boy
Frenchman with a goose farm, perhaps
A mad welder with a vat of soldering paste going door to door?
An Italian altruist
The list goes on!

For sooth, ´tis a quandry great and mysterious.

Probably someone with a delivery van servicing Italian (and non-Italian) restaurants about town, but how would one know?

Boy this is fun!

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "I am in the same position than before about how to translate this term, but your detailed answer has made me decide about contacting the author of the text and ask, in the fear that I am most possibly going to do it wrong otherwise,as it is a comic text and it might be that any of the possibilities that you give me is the right one. Thanks to everybody, anyway!"
