Tech/Engineering
Italian term or phrase: Geometra
Diploma de Geometra.

I already know that an appropriate equivalent would be "Land Surveyor." I wonder, however, if this term in Italian also covers the concept of (Architectural) "Draftsman". What's the opinion of my learnéd colleagues?

Your input will be appreciated.

Surveyor and Draughtsman
Explanation:
As far as I can gather "la scuola per geometra" does teach both surveying and draughtsmanship.
I know people here (Italy) who will call a geometra for certain types of building work as opposed to an architect (cheaper!) and you see their names on hoardings outside building in progress, so legally they are allowed to do it.

Explanation:
nulla da aggiungere; salvo che girando in rete per altri lidi, ho trovato per puro caso questa pagina very well done del Collegio dei Geometri di Venezia; con etimologia e spiegazione dei termini. Veramente bella.
Saluti e buon lavoro a tutti
