*this one identifies without documentation,
Matteo's birthplace as Avellino, and his parents as [Michele Cardone & Camilla Auda]
Here are some corroborating documents, as usual kind of slippery with the dates:
=========================
1. Marriage on 2 January 1894 marriage

- differs by a year from Farassino's finding, so one is correct and the other is a clerical error
=========
2. The death record of Concetta Cardone seems to be a good anchor.

Her birth date is given as 1875 The identification of her parents is tantalizing and confusing:
? father: "James Vincenzo"? James is a common translation of Vincenzo into English, so that doesn't seem (to me) to provide a surname.
? mother: "Filomino Veneziano"? To me the premise is that Veneziano was her father's surname.
My best guess for this is that her father's name of Vincenzo Veneziano was botched by some clerical miscommunication, and that her mother's name was Filomina (unknown surname), namesake for her second daughter born in 1899.
