Birth Record help

[lbernard3]

I can get most of this, but I can't tell what was the occupation of the father. And after that it says "the 14th of ??? month"

On the first image...

Not familiar with what looks likes "gualano"
The month is "sudetto" which means "above mentioned"

I'm assuming you want to know what the faint writing at the bottom reads
This is what I see...
"Verified in Gallichio on 16 October 1876"

The occupation in the birth record is gualano, as T has deciphered it. I found the following on the Italian search engine virgilio.it

GUALANO

Deriva dal provenzale "golan"- giovane garzone; lavoratore agricolo a contratto annuo; addetto alla custodia di terre o alla custodia degli animali impiegati nell’aratura.

My understanding is as follows:
The word is derived from a provincial word -golan which means young boy. He was an agricultural worker, or farm laborer, with an annual contract. He was the caretaker of the land and of the animals. He was employed to do plowing.

If any of my native Italian friends on this forum need to correct my translation, please feel free to do so.

I also found the following website which has some pictures of some old occupations in the town of Gallicchio.

Not that this changes anything but "provenzale" stands for "Provencal" a language/dialect spoken in Southern France in Provence.

Thanks, Ada. That was the one thing I thought I had wrong.
