Translation/Handwriting Help - Passport for Pasquale Sansone

Post by kaygee »

Hello all,

I need some help translating and deciphering my 2nd great-grandfather's Italian passport. It is from 1919.
SansonePasqualePassport1.png
Passport issued to Pasquale Sansone, son of the late Gaetano (?) and the late Luisa (or is this Lucia?) Garofano born in Guardia Sanframondi on February 13, 1861, resident of Guardia Sanframondi in the province of Benevento.....?

I'm having a very hard time with the handwriting here.

I'm having a hard time with the handwriting here too. This part might be more administrative than anything else?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.
