Help translating a birth document from 1823

Post by donvisco »

A few years ago someone from the Family History Center helped me find a document and then did a rudimentary translation. I certainly appreciated his help.

However, in review of this document, I have a few questions. I was hoping someone can help me.

From my read, Giovanni Visco (age 26; b 1797) and Giuseppina Scala have a child on July 28, 1823 in Petina.

On the right column of the first page it names the child: Domenico Antonio Visco

However, on the second page (first column, towards the top) there is another name that doesn't appear to be Domenico Antonio.

I have attached the document.

The questions are have are as follows:

1. What is the name of the child?
2. How old is the mother?
3. Is there anything else important in this document? Maybe witnesses and their professions?
4. Does the document list the profession of the father (Giovanni)?

Thank you, in advance!

The second page attached is wrong, it is not that of the birth record of Domenico Antonio Visco.
