The Act # 91 is for ROLLE COSTANTINO BERNARDO son to Giuseppe and Rostagno Catterina. In brackets I read: Carlet Manchia, which doesn't have a real meaning unless it's a nickname for the family.

Below there is a date of which I'm not sure: on 3rd October 1909he married Bergonzo Lucia in Torino(?). Just below there is another date which I believe is the marriage transcription date. All these surname are common in Piedmont in the province of Turin (Torino).

The notation (which is partly cut off on the left) indicates a marriage in October of 1909 to Lucia Bergonzo (sp?)
Then signed by the official with what looks like a recording date of 12 June (giugno) 1910
