Raimondi death certificate

Post by jml1991 »

I've attached what appears to be the death certificate for my ancestor, Francesco Raimondi, who died on 30 Sep 1761 in Prizzi, Sicily, the son of Michelangelo. However, I am a bit confused by the word "Mizzitello" following his surname. Is that perhaps a middle name, as in "Francesco Mizzitello Raimondi"? Or is it a profession? Or something else? Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

It looks like a double surname (possibly lost hereafter) or a family nickname.

Thank you! Does it mean anything? It must have been dropped afterwards, as I have not seen it in either of his two marriage records.
I have not yet been able to find any birth, marriage or death records for his father Michelangelo to see if that name appears in those records.
