A bit of a guess ...from an Italian translation site ...Collandre means to drip or strain (I suspect like our collender) ... so you can guess as to what it might have meant.

My guess would be a family who did drains, roofs or the like or perhaps someone who lived near a drainage area or waterfall maybe ...
