The name is Santi (surname Pullarà, with an accent on the last a).
However he signs Santo
Also Vincenza's father is Santi

Santi and Santo were just variations of the same name. Like Silvestre and Silvestro. Someone with this name could have either spelling in a record. Probably the choice of spelling was made by the person who wrote the record rather than the subject of the record.
