Help translating this Baptismal record

Post by italian059 »

Would someone please translate this record. It is so hard to read. It is for Francesco Sorce. I think the date was March 6, 1871 but not sure. Then I see morti so I am not sure if the baby died. Would appreciate any information. Thanks,
Mary

Where did you read "morti"? I can't see it.

Mary-

the secretary of the town (named above in the record) was the delegated official of the civil state for the acts of birth and death...
