Italian term or phrase: mantengo
this is to do with installing scenery/lighting on the stage in a theatre:
I tiri manuali devono sollevare carichi adeguati al numero e tipologia delle funi utilizzate ed alle modalità di legatura e fissaggio dei carichi stessi. È vietato effettuare giunzioni di spezzoni di funi.
La legatura di sicurezza sul mantengo deve essere sempre effettuate e periodicamente verificata.

There is a good description of "mantengo" in the "Italian" wikipedia:
http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mantegno
but I don't what the specific word would be in English.
