Having problems with the Italian language? Do you need help to translate or understand an old family document? There is always someone who can help you!
Greetings, I would like to get a narrative translation of "Atti di Nascita" record #4 for Ettore Aiudi from Isola Del Piano dated 1892. I am a newbie and a detailed translation of the entire document would be very helpful to me, to include the pre-printed portions (it will help me to read other documents in the future). For example, what are the two stamps with writing in the left margin related to marriages, and why are they stamped on this birth certificate?
Please see record #4 (page 7 of 48) in either the link below or image attachment below. If you cannot read the attached images then click on the link, scroll to record 4, and enlarge it. Grazie! Eric

Side Notes:
On 17 February 21 marries in the town of Isola del Piano with Teodora Scarpellini, Act No 7.
On 5 September 1956 marries with Domenica Cangiotti in the town of Fossombrone, act no 51, Part II, serie A.
(On the next record it gives Annunziata Tontini’s age as 46, so she seems to have gained 20 years in a very short time?)
From 12th October 1946, the national anthem of Italy has been the "Canto degli Italiani" (Chant of the Italians), written in the Autumn of 1847 by a Genoese student and patriot Goffredo Mameli, and set to music in Turin by another Genoese, Michele Novaro.
