Thanks, Emanuela, for frigorifero. Probably "fero" means something along the lines of "to
make," I would guess.
not to make, but "to bring"
It reminds me the verse TIMEO DANAOS ET DONA FERENTES
I fear the Greeks even when they bring gifts
(VIRGILio, Eneide, II, 49).
Perhaps it is Laocoonte telling about Troy receiving the Troy horse from Greeks.
Sorry for not knowing the names in English.
