Re: Difficulty reading 3 things on this 1847 marriage record

Letterio was an "impiegato doganale" (customs officer)
Giuseppe was an architect, and yes, I read his wifes surname "Arrosto".
But remember that surnames may change in time, and are there can be miswritings.
Have you found the "allegati"?

Re: Baptismal for Filippo Colletto

I believe it's a boy
Look at the difference between how "filium" is written here, and how "filiam" (both shortened cutting the "m") is written in the second and third record.
Filippo Antonino Giovanni, son of Mariano and Anna Colletto (actually written "Culletto").

Re: Hard to read marriage record for Antonino Fasciana

Hello, Mary, I'm fine!
I was on holiday last week, riding my bike to Slovenia.
Moreover, my "colleagues" are much faster than me, that's why you don't read me!!
