This is what it says:
"Vitu Catalanu di Cesaro e m.ca cat.no con cat.na fa. di Petru et Ant.lla roccaforti di q.a te.ra schetti"
As usual for this time period it looks like a cross between Latin and Italian/Sicilian.


Translated, it is:
Vito Catalano of Cesare and M.ca [this is like M.co, so maybe it means Domenica] Cat.no [abbreviation of Catalano]
WITH
Caterina daughter of Pietro and Antonella Roccaforti, of this land, unmarried [plural, so both of them]

The Giuseppe Catalano in the next record is the brother of the Vito Catalano on the previous page
