Antonia's surname was Penta, not Penna. We've seen her before in another document. Pasquale was a "massaro di campo." A massaro was a manager of large estate. As a massaro, he oversaw all of the daily operations of a large estate. As a "massaro di campo," he also supervised the contadini, or peasants, in the field.

Yes, Pasquale did have a nice career. Basically a massaro was a member of the middle class, unlike the contadini.
