Need Help translating birth record

[stewey75]

Hello,

I'm hoping that someone could help me translate this birth record for Giuseppe Vittorio Foppiano.

It's the bottom right record. I'm hoping it states his father is Giovanni and mother Cattarina.

Thank you for your help

Father Giobatta (Giovanni Battista) mother Caterina

[stewey75]

Thank you Ann! does it happen to say what Caterina maiden name was and age of the parents?

I'm reading the mother to be Catterina Noce. Her age isn't given.

Giobatta was a 44 yo peasant farmer, living in Cicagna.

Giuseppe Vittorio was born at 3 am on 28 April 1889 at (Via?) Belvedere.

There is a frazione or hamlet in the town of Cicagna called Belvedere

Thanks Erudita. Yes, I wondered about that but then I also saw that there was a Via Belvedere. Can you read what it says about why the baby wasn't presented - the father was given a dispensation. I can't read all the words because it's not so clear. I'm also reading the name as two abbreviated names Gio Batta (Giovanni Battista) not Giobatta. (Giobatta is an actual given name.) Do you concur?

Hi Angela
I also saw that the presentation of the infant was dispensed with, but I can't decipher the reason either.

It does look like a capital B in the name leading me to think it is written as two separate words, yet the signature has a small b and appears to be written as a single word. Plus we see batista instead of batta in the signature. I honestly don't think it's something to quibble over, since it is one and the same name.

I did see that signature at the bottom also but believe it to be the signature of the official and not the father. (I need to race out the door - visitors arriving to stay tomorrow and I need to seriously get some groceries and cooking organised.) Spot your later.

Thank you everyone. What does the presentation of the infant dispense mean? Is that typical?

[stewey75]

I can link the ancestry record if that would be more helpful?

"Per valido motivo dispensai dalla presentazione il dichiarante accertata prima altrimenti la nascita"

[erudita74]

Normally after a birth, the newborn was physically presented at the town hall unless, there were extenuating circumstances. Sometimes there was very bad weather and the distance to the town hall was just too far. Sometimes there was an illness which prevented the infant from being presented. In this case, it seems there was a valid reason, but the reason is not specified in the record. The father appeared alone to verify the birth.

[stewey75]

Thank you! If it doesn't specify on the this record could it be anywhere else or it probably be a mystery.

[erudita74]

Sorry, but I don't see the reason in this record, and it wouldn't appear in any other record. I would think though that distance proved to be part of the reason, as the birth took place in a hamlet of the town and not within the confines of the town itself.

Thank you so much!
