This is an extracted copy of the groom's baptism record needed as a supporting document for his marriage.
The baptism took place on Aug 10, 1808 but he had been born on Tuesday the 9th. His parents were Giuseppe Marinella* and Angiola di Lucia. His godmother was Caterina Lapetina, also the midwife. Domenico Antonio was the name given to him.

Thank you for your help! I appreciate it very much. One more question, his mother on his death certificate was listed as Angela Rosa Notarfrancesco. The extracted copy noted a death on it. Who was that for? Is it possible Angeiola Di Lucia died, and that is what they were referencing?
Your help is very much appreciated.

Where do you see a death noted on the baptism record? There is no death mentioned there. I think what you are misreading is the word after nato in that extracted record. The word there is Martedi for Tuesday. It is not the word for death.
As to why the mother's name differs-an extracted record is always subject to errors. The priest looked in his book of baptisms and created a new record for the upcoming marriage based on the info in his book. So he or his clerk could have copied the info incorrectly, or it may have initially been recorded incorrectly, but the record does state that Giuseppe Marinella and Angiola di Lucia were a married couple of this town.
Often the mother's name does not even appear in the baptism record as, after giving birth, she had to undergo a purification period of 40 days and did not therefore attend the baptism. It was the midwife who carried the infant from its home through the town streets to the church and then often held the infant at the baptismal font and served as its godmother.

As for the mother's surname, read these documents:
