Hi I recently was able to get a copy of this birth record for my grandfather Guerino Gallo, born in Roccamonfina. Could someone please translate this for me? It would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you Livio! Is there any way that I could get a more exact translation of the document? I am trying to do it myself but am having difficulty making out words. Thank you for any help.

Does anyone have any idea what the address means? It says my grandfather was born at 7 villagio garofoli. Is that a street or just a part of town?
