Hey, if anyone speaks Italian, I need your help... well, actually, my
mom does. See, my grandpa has this... thing, and on it it says:

Macina Temperata

Italy

There's something else with "Italy", but I don't remember what it was
and I'm not sure if it matters or not. Anyway, could someone tell me
what it means? Thanks!

OK...I admit I had to look up the dictionary for "macina", but it
means, as badly as this translates, "moderate/temperate
millstone/grinder".

macina - n. fem "millstone, grinder (macinacaffè - coffee grinder)
temperata - adj. fem "moderate, temperate"

Imperative
