Translation help please - Italian birth cert

Marco Zuffranieri born in Arpino, 27th January 1856.

I can see his father is Giovanni (son of Gennaro?) and his mother is Restituta Rea (daughter of Dominico ?).

I'm a bit stuck with his Giovanni's profession and there appear to be other place names other than Arpino but I can't quite make them out. Would be grateful if anyone could cast their eyes over it please.

I'd say his profession was contadino (peasant farmer). The rest you have looks correct. I'll let someone else tackle place names.

Thank you Mmogno!! Seeing in in typed Italian is fantastic!

Thank you too Darkerhorse, a new word to add to my learning!

[samantha235]

I have another I'm a bit stuck on if anyone can cast an eye over please.

Matilde Quadrini, 15th June 1857 in Arpino, Daughter of Giovanni Quadrini (can't make out the word after his name), age 31, Profession?

I'm particularly stuck on the mother's information. I can see something about the Parish of San Michele and her father was Gregorio?

[darkerhorse]

I read the words following his name as the name of his father "fu" (meaning defunct or deceased) or defunct) Carlo?

His occupation appears to be fabricatore or maker of something.

[darkerhorse]

I think St. Michele is where the baby was baptized.

I don't see a reference to Gregorio.

[samantha235]

Hi darkerhorse, thank you. Your right, I see the fu Carlo now and I think your right about the occupation - thanks for the list, it's much more comprehensive that the one I already had.

I can't make out the mother's details at all though.

[darkerhorse]

After her name I believe it says she the legitimate wife of the declarant (her husband).

[darkerhorse]

There's this list too, in case you're fortunate enough to have Sicilian ancestors.

[darkerhorse]

I see someone else translated "fu" as "late" which is good. If i recall correctly "fu" means was, past tense of is in Latin. A polite way of saying deceased. Sum esse, fui, futurus...

Some records mix in Latin words, especially older ones.

[mmogno]

There is an inconsistency in the document. In the left column, in the birth certificate, the child, born on June 15, 1827 in the district of the bridge in Arpino, is a boy, Giacobbe, son of Giovanni Quadrini (son of late Carlo), 31 years old, fabbricatore and Loreta Zompetta, 27 years old, legitimate wife of Giovanni. In the right column, the baptism of Matilde (female name) Quadrini is recorded, administered by the parish priest of San Michele on June 16, 1827.

[samantha235]

Thank you mmogno. How very confusing. I'll have a look and see if there is any record of Giacobbe.

I've looked again and I cannot make out where Loreta Zompetta's name is? I think I need glasses lol

[darkerhorse]

Her name is at the top following the phrase "stesso e' nato da".
