Thank You Livio,
It looks like I just found another birth record different town for the same Cristoforo. Why would that be?

The name of the town was Solanto until 1880 when it changed the name to Santa Flavia.
The copy of the birth act required for the marriage with Vincenza was issued in 1878 when the town was named Solanto.
When Cristoforo married Rosa in 1889 the name of the town was Santa Flavia and the clerk who made the copy of the birth act changed the name of birth town to Santa Flavia.
