This is a certificate issued Feb 5 1852 where the priest Domenico di Benededetto declares that he found in the book of the deaths the record:
"In the year 1797, Dec 31, died Antonio La Sala husband of Antonina Randazzo"

Livio, Thanks so much for the translation, which reveals an additional name of the wife. Given this is issued by a priest there must be a church, does it state the name of a church? I see the town of Montevago mentioned which seems appropriate based upon the ancestors I am researching. Grazie!

The name of the Church is not there, however from a quick search it appears that there is only one church in Montevago:

Ss. Pietro e Paolo
PIAZZA DUOMO, 6
92010 Montevago (AG)

I know there was an earthquake there in 1968 I hope the records are intact.
