1. What is the surname of the priest of San Sabino in Gildone? Domenico ?
2. What is the given for the surname of Farinaccio that is located the bottom of the birth/baptism record, just above: "Gildone di otto Maggio." I do not see any notation about this person being a godparent---must be a witness. Am I right ?
3. The mother's surname is either Damico or D'Amico.

I have two questions:
1. What is the surname of the priest of San Sabino in Gildone? Domenico ? Difficult - could be Lacerenza, Laurenza, Pazienza, though the strokes do not match these surnames
