Hello kind folks!
I'm wondering if I could get some help, please on translating my great-grandfather's brother's birth records.

His name is: Empedocle Lodi

Thanks for all of your help!

Sincerely,

Mark Lodi :D

Thank you very much, Tessa, I really appreciate it!
I had another question regarding this. On the header of Portale Antenati it states "Stato civile italiano > Sutera Conservato da: Archivio di Stato di Caltanissetta" So, does that mean the Sutera is a town within Caltanissetta?

Thanks again!

Sutera is a town in the Province of Caltanssetta

It is west of the town of Caltanisetta.

An interesting fact...
It is one of I Borghi più belli d'Italia ("The most beautiful villages of Italy").[3] The area is dominated by a large monolithic rock termed "The Mountain of San Paolino". Upon this mountain sits the bones of the patron saints of the town, St. Paolino and St. Onofrio. On the Feast of San Onofrio, almost all those in the town walk to the top of the mountain, as a pilgrimage to the saints

I’m reading the neighbourhood is “Vabatello” but I can’t see any evidence of this anywhere.

I also wanted to add that it says that he was “living in Sutera “per ragion dell’impiego” so he was basically there for work reasons? This just might add another piece to a puzzle.
