    According to my online translation 

    "pipemiere"  means "pipe smith"  - hence my link to possible tobacco pipe making

    "pipe miere" means "mine pipes" - hence possible link to mining.

     

    But - who knows?????

    Alternatively,  he may have worked making pipes (for smoking tobacco)  - apparently it was quite an industry at the end of 19th/early 20th Century in Lombardia.
