Help deciphering Mom's maiden name: Riccardo Cini Baptism record

[ryebass]

I'm wondering if anyone would like to assist with deciphering the handwriting in this baptism record: in particular, I'm attempting to figure out the surname of mom in this record of Riccardo CINI, born and baptised December 1st, 1860. Her given name is Regina (fairly confident in my reading of that one) but I am having trouble figuring out the last name...it seems to be Cassi, Capi, Caspi, or similar...I'm brand-new at reading these baptism records and I have done a fair amount of research now on the idiosyncrasies of the handwriting (the use of what looks like a 'j' in lieu of an 's' for example in Guiseppe etc...

Regardless, any help would be appreciated. And, if you haven't checked these records out yet, I would encourage you to do so...there is a great deal of information sitting there (seems like too much at first to be honest)...the father's dad and grandfather are typically given, along with Mom, her Dad, and her maiden name. It's the third entry down:

The registry page etc are as follows:

Registro: 183, fg. 110 di 387
Maschi, 1860 Novembre 27 - 1860 Dicembre 1
Lettera: C

Again, any help or ideas would be GREATLY appreciated and I have spent a few hours staring at this before coming here.

Welcome to the forum Somehow this post got missed?

I would say definitely Regina Cassi. If you look at the very last record you'll see that the double "s" in the words "prossimo passato" look the same.

I agree with Angela The surname appears to be CASSI
