Re: Olimpia Baratta
Here is the birth of a daughter Concetta in 1815 (30 August)
While Olimpia Baratta's father is not identified, her age is. She is age 30, so birth date would be about 1785.
In this record, Alessandro Pietromonaco is identified as age 40, putting his DOB about 1775...

EDIT TO ADD:
Another child in 1811 (16 December)... Gabriele
On this record Alessandro is age 34

Re: Olimpia Baratta
People tended to start losing track of their ages over time. The closer it is to their date of birth the more accurate it probably is.
I did some looking, but I have to stop now for class.
I suggest finding a marriage in 1809 or 1810 if possible, which would include Olimpia's parents names (maybe allegati with even more info) or her death act. I as of 1855 I found nothing, but if she died between 1856 and 1865 the record will be there and hopefully with information about her parents.

TIP: When asking for records from Italy, do NOT ask for an "estratto." ALWAYS ask for a "copia integrale." A photocopy of the original Act will contain more information
Re: Olimpia Baratta
I have already checked the marriages for 1809 and 1810 (the earliest records available online) and have not found a marriage for this couple.
And her death was not found in years 1856-1860 of the Morti in Vinchiaturo.
I did find a death act of an Olimpia Baratta in 1837, but she was the widow of Antonio Pede, and she was age 46.
FYI - On the death act of Alessandro Pietromonaco in 1830 (17 October), Olimpia Baratta, his wife, is identified as age 60... putting her DOB about 1870. another (yet common) variation in age.

Would have to look through the Nati... (births) to find the surname, then check parents' names...
Will check some dates right after the marriage date and get back to you.

Re: Olimpia Baratta
Elisabetta would be her second name, or middle name. In Italian, I'm not sure about other cultures, second (or third etc.) names were given often, although not always, based on status. Ie. a wealthy family might have a child with 3 middle names. Also, in Italian culture, middle names were not "middle names" they were simply other names and a child could go by any of them.
So a person named "Anna Maria Vittoria Gambini" could go by Anna, Annamaria, Vittoria, Anna Vittoria, etc. And those names could therotically appear on any of her documents which is why sometimes it is good to find the baptismal records to get middle names. Sometimes people can't find death documents because a person commonly went by their middle name and that is what ended up on their death document.
For instance the grandmother of my grandmother went by her middle name, Elisabetta, in Italy and it wasn't until I got her birth document that I found that it was only her middle name. Similarly my grandfather is named Piergiorgio Gentili but I only ever knew him as Giorgio until I actually started asking questions.
