Father's profession

[Biff83]

Hope everyone is well. I could use some help determining the father's profession on this birth act, #197

Hi Biff

This threw me for a while. I was convinced that the initial letter was an "s" or an "l"
BUT - looking back at the first letter of the word after Sindaco - "funzionante" - in the official's title, I am now thinking that the word is a form of "fabbricant" - manfacturer.

It might be "fabbriciere"...
I didn't know what it means, and I found out that it is someone who is a member of a "fabbriceria".
A "fabbriceria" is an office that works for the management and maintanance of religious buildings (churches, chapels, sanctuaries). Substantially it should be someone who supervises the construction work for churches.

I agree with your analysis. AND, I learned something new!

Thanks Pippo.

Gaetano might have been be supervisor for work at the church of SS Peter and Paul where his son Mariano was baptized.
