Peg, I know those are the words which often follow "assessore" but do you think it really looks like that on this document?

Also, what about the occupations of Grillo Costantino and Cipolla Carolina?

I am not familiar with the occupations pascararo and parvolo -will have to do some research on these when I get back from walking my three miles-if someone else has not figured it out by then.

The few results I found for pascoraro have it as two words, "pasco raro" which seems to mean "rare pasture". Hmmm...

Yes, but the word is in reference to his mother, Carolina Cipolla "domiciliata in Malvito, xxxxxx"
