I made a better guess at the next.

IL Tornio = the lathe, in Tuscany. It looks more like a potter's wheel to me.
In 1961 Nigeria issued this stamp of a carver at work.

I would never be able to manage such fine work as this Nigerian while sitting in that position!
The trawler man looks very relaxed!
I like the rather languid fisherman in the bay. It looks a rather attractive Italian set.
I agree, the Italian pair (presumably from a set) are superb.
You could call him a resting fisherman.
Very original jobs featured on these stamps. I like a lot one-colour stamps.
You really have quite a selection here. Everything is very interesting.
