Not completely sure what it is. I think it has been mispelt in the record and that it should maybe read industreirosi - an industrialist or someone involved in industry but not sure. Now that we have a clearer image, hopefully it will be easier to decipher.

Joann the word is "industrioso" is a word used for a certain period in southern Italy on the civil records, and this word does not mean a well-defined profession, because it expressly refers to doing whatever as long as it is paid, any work of little importance. All available small jobs that the person is able to do in order to earn something and be able to survive. From going to the well to get water, or carrying parcels, or delivering letters, or **SPAM** junk, or looking after the livestock for a short time, or cleaning stables, clearing out attics, etc. All temporary jobs whose characteristic was the extreme precariousness and a no necessary professionalism or craftsmanship.
In Italy we currently say "one who gets busy" that is a person who, despite lacking in professionalism, manages to do any type of job to survive.
