I assume he went to Benetutti because he had the offer of work.  I doubt he would have left Sassari, as a skilled craftsman, for Benetutti a remote village of mixed agricultural-pastoral economy, without specific arrangements for work, possibly for a church or to construct houses or public buildings.  I would think that through his family, relatives, or guild contacts he would have been told of work that would be given to him.  He presumably had worked somewhere earlier if he had saved enough to purchase two houses in Benetutti, although, of course, mortgages were common in those days.
