Usage Note
Montatore in Italian cinema refers to the film editor — the person who assembles (monta) the cut. The feminine form is montatrice. In an industrial context a montatore is an assembly worker or fitter. The word derives from montare (to mount, to assemble), so the cinematic meaning is a natural extension.
Examples
"Il montatore ha lavorato per mesi sul film."
Natural Translation
The editor worked for months on the film.
