Its much to blurred and difficult to read. May I suggest that you ask a language teacher in a nearby school who teaches Italian or Spanish (even Latin if its taught) to give you a reading since the original is much easier to read I am sure. Since it is a document it should pose no problem since documents are easy toi translate. Sorry Peter

Thankyou both, Peter and Cidue!!

This is a great help to me. Now I know for sure that Francesco Saverio was indeed my GG Grandfather.
