This record is in the section for a town named Melilli. I find no town named Metti in the area. Metti sounds like the word for place but I'm thinking what we read as Metti is probably Melilli written hurriedly.

Re: Improve This 1811 Riveli Translation
I have two candidates for the property owner.
One is 45 years old whose father was deceased, and the other is 20 years old whose father was living.
I have some limited information on their occupations and residences but can't find it. I recall the 20 year-old was recorded as a shepherd for most of his life, though the earliest record in 1820 lists him as a farmer, I believe.
Of course, I'm guessing that it's the 45 year-old.
Is the property relatively valuable, especially given he has a knight and physician for neighbors?

What is a tumulo equivalent to in today's land measurement?

Re: Improve This 1811 Riveli Translation
The extent of one "tomolo" varied depending on the area (province).
In Siracusa it corresponds to 1744 square metres.

Sounds like less one tomolo was just less than half (.43) of an acre.
