“Umarell” is an Italian folk term that refers specifically to elderly men, usually retired, who spend their time watching construction sites, often with their hands clasped behind their backs. The term originates from the Bologna dialect and has gained popularity across Italy.
These men are sometimes known for offering unsolicited advice to workers, despite having no professional expertise in construction. The word has even been used humorously in public policies, with some cities designating special areas for umarells to observe construction projects." |

..city of Riccione, who allocated a budget of €11,000 for Umarell to oversee the city’s cantieri. Here, Umarell were tasked with preventing theft when the site was unattended and verifying the number of trucks that come and go to ensure materials have been dealt with according to receipts. .. It’s not all construction sites and roadworks, though. You’ll also find them helming the queue at Coop the minute the doors swing open, playing briscola outside the bar, or helping the Sunday drivers among us parallel park with the swift motion of one’s left arm." https://italysegreta.com/umarell-italys-civic-heros-or-municipal-meddlers/ | |
