Can anyone read this street name in Palermo?

Hi - can anyone make out this street name in a Palermo birth record from 1864? Via Car___?

It seems Carmela but that would be too easy and I didn’t find a street named like that in Palermo in those years.

Could you post the link to the record?

Here's the record: https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12 ... 54/0MxnjvM
I was able to read his father's birth record a bit more clearly and he was born on Via Candelai, which I was able to find on a current map. It doesn't look like Candelai to me, but what do you think?

From what I can see on the birth act, the parish was in the Albergheria area of Palermo in the old town.
In that area there is a short street named vicolo del Carmelo just off Piazza del Carmine behind the Ballaro’ market.
That could be the one.

Via Candelai is not far away in the same area of town.

Excellent, thanks! Would you mind telling me how you knew which parish it was from? I'm still learning how to read these documents. Thanks!
