Also means

assembler, fitter

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.
