Hi. I need help with a birth record translation for Dominica Rubeo. The record is on the top right page:

Domenica, daughter of Matteo Rubeo, born on Jul 29th (1667), baptized on 31st.
It also says where Matteo was from, but if you could tell us where this record is from, it might help.

Pippo

The record is from the parish of San Michele in Rivarolo Canavese. Also odd is that no godparents' names are given, and that it says "first baptized by" followed by the priest's name-his surname is Vota, I believe.

I read "de Alice Vallis xxxx" that might be Alice Superiore, about 20km from Rivarolo, part of the Comune of "Val di Chy".
Then, my guess is that it says "et Lud(ovi)ca urbis incolar(um) Riparolij" where Ludovica is the mother and the following means "living in Rivarolo".
I see the the last word is "Patrinus", so maybe Mr. Vota was the godfather, who baptized the child himself?
