I wrote to Valmozzola and received a copy of the Atti di Nascita for my great grandfather Biagio Pesci. I am struggling through, translating word by word....would anyone be able to translate for me?
I am excited to receive new info on my g grandfather : )

Yes it is Maria Timossi : ) I wonder if someone would mind translating the final handwritten paragraph? Thanks

In this instance the child was "declared" by the father, but not presented.
The paragraph states that the declarant [Luigi Pesci] dispensed with presenting the child to the official because of the distance, and after otherwise assuring the official the truth of the birth. The official read the present act to the participants and only he and the declarant signed below because the others were illiterate.
