Baptism of Filadelfio Caltabiano Nov 5, 1835 to Rosaria Coco and Cirino Caltabiano. Godmother Alfia lo Faro.

There appears to have been some controversy concerning the exact date of the feast day of Saint Filadelfo, and it appears to have been celebrated sometime in Oct or early Nov. If you search the internet, you'll see that Saint Cirino was the second of three saints, including St Filadelfo, grouped in the discussions.

In the link below, it's showing the feast day of the three saints, which included the brother Alfio, as being in May in some parts of Sicily:

The three brothers were martyrs.
