The two handwritten words in the attached image were cut from my grandparent's Italian marriage record and indicate (according to a footnote on the form) "S'indicherà la professiono o la condizione."

The upper word would have been my grandfather's profession or condition, the lower word my grandmother's. Any thoughts on what they say?

Second one looks like contadina. My dictionary defines it variously as countrywoman, land worker, farmer, etc.

EDIT. First one could be bracciante - farmhand or labourer. Ties in with contadina.

Seconding Graeme here. These are what's written on my own great-great-grandparents' marriage certificate in fact

Yes, they are "bracciante" and "contadina". A bracciante was an hired worker, paid day by day to work in large farms. A contadina is a female agriculture worker - but the word is neutral and has no hint to her contract status.

Grazie a tutti!

In some areas (Pianura Padana) the braccianti were hired for the whole season, not individually but in whole families, that received a small monetary payment plus lodging. In the same area, "contadino" was used mainly referring to the person who worked his or her own land, usually a smallish parcel.

Hey, it could be worse. When my hubby and I were married in Jamaica in 1998, my listing said "spinster". I guess at age 29 in Jamaica, that's what I was considered - YIKES! My family got a HUGE chuckle out of that one...
