          Cazzuola punta tonda / Italian style round tip trowels:

Classic Italian trowel pattern. Shorter, and wider toward the handle then conventional "London style" patterns, it is less strenuous on the wrist. The straight edges are more useful in stucco application. The barrel shaped hardwood handle is comfortable and has a metal plug at its end for tapping brick or stone in place without splitting or wearing out the handle.

                  Cazzuola punta quadra / Square tip trowel
