Dated 12 April 1882 at the town office
Before the official...
appeared Francesco Zambrotta [son of deceased Pietro], age 63, farmer born and residing in Sanza, to present to the official a male child who he declared was born yesterday, the 11th of the month, at 8 PM at his home at Vico Chenaro, to his wife Teresa Confuorto [daughter of deceased Francesco], and to this child was given the name GIOVANNI.
This declaration was made in the presence of Francesco Cozzi [son of deceased Domenico] age 36; and Vincenzo Balbi [son of Nicola], age 38 both landowners and residents of Sanza.
