I'll take a crack at it:

died March 21, 1933 in house at Selve Contrada, age 72, peasant, father = Pellegrino (deceased), mother = Serafina Del Caudio? (deceased), widow of Modestino Russo father = Virgilio (deceased)

Prego.

Let's see if Pippo or someone else confirms/corrects.

I inferred the date of death because it reads she died "yesterday" and the document is dated March 22.

I typed up the translation earlier but darkerhorse bet me to posting it so decided to leave it. I believe Serafina's surname was Del Gaudio, a name which appears in the town. I think the rest looks good.

It says Contrada Selve, "no number".

I'll take an A-.

Is the word after the address "senza" or "senzo", meaning without (an address number)?

Yes, you've got it, the word there is "senza" meaning "without".

Edit to Add: Often a Contrada didn't have a number because it was basically a little village or district of the town. I have however seen numbers following the word Contrada in some records though.
