Translation of 1714 Census (Messina)

[kirsten0993]

Hello Friends - I'm stumped by this 1714 census (attached) for my ancestor, Santo Gallo, from Messina. If anyone can make out the notation under "Beni Mobili" I would be most grateful. I'm just curious if it says what kind of property he owned (he was a fisherman). Thanks!

I think it's revealing that he has an old bicycle with a value of 1 and 6, and silver with a value of 18 for a total of 1.24.

Someone else will have to explain this further to you. Here are some links you may find useful:

I doubt bicycles date back that far.
