Please confirm this death record for deceased Gaetano Di Palma. His place of birth in Vico Equense, his profession, names of parents, name of wife=we see two last names for her "Celentano" and "Savarese". We don't understand this (?) Was his wife still living? Thank you.

Gaetano Di Palma died at age 92 in his own house on the 10th of January 1856 at 2. He was a colono (tenant farmer) living in Bonea (It’s a hamlet of Vico Equense). He was the son of deceased Ciro (Di Palma)-bracciale/a day laborer, and deceased Lucia Buonacore. The record doesn’t say if his wife Marianna was deceased or still alive. I’m not sure about the Marianna Celentano Savarese. I believe the word “dico” is between the two surnames. I don’t know if this word is used to correct the surname Celentano (as in “should say” , even though it translates to “I say,” Savarese), or if his wife went under both surnames, and it was a double surname as such. Hopefully someone else can clarify this for you.
