Yes, it helps a lot.
Of course, it provides some answers and lots of new questions
No idea why my great-great-grandfather is mentioned as "Giovanni Battista" in some places and "Battista Ferrario" in others.

Your help is VERY valuable.

Cheers

Wow! that's fantastic. Whatever you find will be a great addition to my collection of family data.
Cheers

Much appreciated! I will take you up on that:
All I have is the birth certificate:
Carlo (Giuseppe) Cascarini, Born march 18, 1851. son of Giovanni Battista Cascarini and Agata (or Agueda) Bussi Franzozi (or Fransosi/sozi/zosi).Registered in San Vincenzo Parish.

Any other record about any of them ...

Hi
My ancestors are Cascarini, but come from Gera Lario, Como. About 800 km north of Picinisco. Do you think there could be a connection?

Thanks

Hello all
I just found my great grandfather 'Carlo Cascarini' birth certificate from Gera Lario, Como in 1851.
Was wondering if anyone else has researched those lastnames or may know of databases or records from that area that could be checked.

Thanks
