Italian term

insellatura

Italian to English Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion shoes
Good morning folks.
Once again the mysteries of cobbling.
The sentence says:
"l'insellatura della tomaia sulla forma".

I'm wondering if we are on the lines of "the vamp is last-formed", or something of that nature, although the later expression "ben sellata" to describe a shoe is also puzzling me.
TIA
Angela

preforming of the upper

Dear Angela,

the web site below says that "garbatura" is another word for "insellatura". And EURODICAUTOM reports:

Subject Industries & Crafts - Finished Products (IN)



Definition Operazione consistente nel dare, generalmente per mezzo di un'apposita macchina ad un pezzo (particolarmente della tomaia) che è stato ricavato in piano del modello, una curvatura tale da farlo aderire facilmente alla forma e da facilitare il montaggio
