This is my great grandfather. I know he was born Francesco Antonio Fanelli on 07 Apr 1875 and his parents were Egido Carmine Fanelli and Maria Madelena Marttocia.
I'm curious if it mentions where his parents were born and what child he was born to his mother (1st, 2nd...)
You have correct date of birth and parents' names. The record just states that they were living in Laurenzana at the time of the birth. It does not state where the parents were born. Also I have never seen an Italian birth record which states which number child it is for a particular set of parents. So, this record does NOT state whether he was their first, second, etc, child. The announcement of this birth was made by the midwife, as the father was absent from the town at the time.

(“... da Martoccia Maria Maddalena, filatrice (seamstress), moglie di Egido Carmine Fanelli, occupation?, ventidue ….)

As I stated in my first answer the ages of the parents are not there.
Angela, the sentence reads: (“... da Martoccia Maria Maddalena, filatrice (seamstress), moglie di Egido Carmine Fanelli, occupation?, ambedue domiciliati ….)
An Italian novel for kids called "La Freccia Azzurra" (The Blue Arrow) says that all the children in the world wait for Christmas Eve to get presents from Santa Clause, but Italian kids are the luckiest in the world because they get presents again on the 6th of January by the Befana.
