Looking for Death Location

Post by Tanner »

Here is the death act of Tommaso Schiraldi, 1917 from Toritto. My Italian is poor but I've gathered he died in WWI, but can't seem to figure out his location of death. Does this death act give a location of death other than his native Toritto?

Looking for a rough translation. Any help is appreciated!

mmogno, this is incredible, thank you so much! I saw the word "monte" but couldn't take out the "Faiti" at all. All this additional context is so greatly appreciated as well. Happy new year to you and be safe and healthy.
