Death record - another word for widower?

[JRizzo]

Hi,
I've seen the word vedovo for widower, when referencing a deceased wife in a person's death certificate. However, I'm not familiar with the word in the attached certificate. It looks perhaps like "???arito".

Can anyone help? This record is for my great-great grandfather.

Thank you so much.

There is no attachment.

The word is probably "marito" which means husband.

Thank you for the super fast response. I'm not sure why it didn't post, this is my first time using the Mac...

Happy to help I've been having issues posting attachments also, so it might not be your "mac".

BTW: For the future, "Moglie" is wife.

Usually, but not always, marito is used when the wife is still living. Sometimes you'll see marito combined with fu, though, which indicates that she was deceased. They same is true for moglie.
