Please verify your translation for me. His date of birth for the day of the month looks like ventuno which would be 21, not 19. His father was Girolamo Virgilio, son of deceased Carlo.

Thank you.

Hi,
as I said, 21 is the record date, i.e. the day when birth was declared (line #1).
Birth date is on line #8 ("del dì diciannove"="of day 19th").
That's what you will find for all records; be careful when you read them by yourself, as birth might be declared long later, in some cases.
