This record is dated Sept 4, 1920 in the town hall of Cammarata. Giuseppe LaGreca, age 43, who was born and living in Cammarata, was appearing before the town's mayor to declare that he was requesting a transfer in his domicile to the town of Ribera, as he wished to make that town the principal place of his business affairs and interests. There were two witnesses present: Enrico Mendola, age 72, and Ernesto Mendola, age 30, both residents in Cammarata.

You only have his age, and that he was a contadino (peasant/farmer) in the record, which I forgot to add to my translation. There are no parents' names given in this document. So, it depends on how many people with the same name and same birth year, or approximate birth year, had the same name. If he was the only one, then it would be him. If there were others with the same first name born around the time he was, and of the same occupation, then it might not be him. There is no way to tell from this record. Why can't you confirm that your grandfather married in Ribera? Have you tried contacting the town of Ribera to get his marriage info? Or contact the town of Cammarata to see if they have the date he emigrated out of that town. I know one of the Sicilian towns in my husband's ancestry had the date an ancestor's son left the town for a neighboring town and the date he returned to his native town. I know all towns do not keep that info though.
