Please help translate/decipher the below information that I scanned from an old passport circa 1910. The first two images are brief hand-written comments from the margins of the first page. The third image seems to be a physical description of my ancestor on the left, and some comments unknown to me written/stamped on the right.

2nd:
"Duca di Genova" (that should be a ship) and a date
the second might be a ship, too, but it's really unintelligible

Pippo- Thank you for your assistance!
Re: 1910 Passport Information
My best guess for the first image is:
"rimpatriata quale indigente e malata
li 14-5-910"
"sent back due to her poor conditions and sick
date, 14 may 1910"

Re: 1910 Passport Information
I cannot read Italian but found it interesting from the replies that state "sent back due to her poor condition and sick" It bought to mind when my father was booked and due to leave Genoa with his sister in 1927. he was given a final medical by immigration and found to have a hernia. He was told he was not going to Australia as he would be turned around and sent back to Italy, as one was meant to be ready for work the day they arrived in Australia.(times have changed!). Anyhow he had to delay his trip,but his sister continued onto Australia. He had the operation done in either Tuscany or Genoa. The op was a total success and he never had any problems with it again, which is not always the case even these days. He came downunder about 6 or 8 months later in 1928, free of his hernia and fit and ready for hard work. John
