Translation Request - Fortunata Miraglia Death Record

Hello! Is someone able to translate this death record, Number 16, on the bottom left for Fortunata Miraglia for me please? I am most interested in family members names and notation on the side. Thank you!

Her father's name seems to be Biase (dialectal form for Biagio) and her mother's Càrmena Barra, both "contadini" (peasants). The annotation on the right sounds "Seen and verified in (name of Commune) today may 22nd 1876. But I really can't say why there is this sort of "validation". I hope someone more expert than me can tell you.

Yes, thank you Marty! One of my great-grandmothers was abandoned and taken in by a wet nurse and "just in case" I am researching the wet nurse's family to see if I get lucky and my great-grandmother is mentioned in any of the records.I know it's a long shot, but since there isn't much of a place to go once you know a baby was abandoned I figure it's worth my time to check out the family of her wet nurse. Thanks so much, buddy! :)
