Well...the copies are very light where it is handwritten, but I'll give you what I can read and others will try to fill in where needed.

On the Baptism side, it looks like the baby's name is Giovanna.

Commune looks like it could be Prizzi

The date of the act is July 11, 1852 but the baby was born the day before at 2.00 PM. The town is Prizzi.
The mother's name is Maria Mordagà, 21 years old and the father is Stefano Orlando 28 years old, peasant. The baby's name looks Giovanni Orlando, a boy.
