An artisan or craftsperson who specializes in certosina woodwork, or the style of decorative inlaid work they produce.
The masculine Italian form of certosina, literally meaning 'relating to Certosa.' Italian artisans adopted this term to identify specialists in the inlay technique developed at the monastery.
This word captures the Renaissance idea that artists became so identified with specific techniques that the technique itself became part of their name—certosino workers were artisanal celebrities!
