Deciphering word after "avendo lasciato"

Post by rfiorille »

I'm having trouble figuring out the word after avendo lasciato on this death act for Rosalia Russodivita and would appreciate some help.

I'm reading a couple possibilities that are not translating into actual Italian words. Here's what my eyes are seeing:

supustino, superstino, pesertino, pepertino

I'm looking forward to see how off my eyes are!

I believe the sentence is saying she was unmarried and that she left all she had to her nephew Antonio Russodivita. Is this correct?

Her's is the first act to the left.

Thank you!

p.s. I noticed there is similar wording on the act to the right as well as the act prior to this one. Found here:

Sorry to add an additional question as a reply and confuse things, but I don't want to start a new topic for the same document with pretty much the same question, so I'm appending this question to my last.

I would like help in correcting my deciphering a section of the second act to the right on the first link above for Giovanni de Majoribus. Here is my attempt, with (?) after the words that I'm not sure about:

'avendo lasciato saperstito(?), la di lui moglie Lucia Piunno, tre figli pupilli(?) Lucrezia Domenico e Michelangelo, una figlia vedova Serafina de Majoribus, e due Nipoti [Signore] Belisario e Michelangelo Magri figli dell' altra figlia Giuseppa poi(?) morta'

I'm also wondering if the word pupilli is meant to somehow distinguish Lucrezia, Domenico and Michelangelo from Serafina somehow. This would then mean that Giovanni had 4 children, not just three, yes?

I hope my multiple questions/posts didn't confuse things. Thank you!

Of course! Thank you mmogno!

I could swear I tried to translate superstito! I was seeing the 'ito' on the end of the word in other documents but I must not have put superstito into google translate. In fact, when I saw your reply I thought that was one of the words I put as a possibility in my original post. It was driving me nuts that I couldn't get it.

Thank you again!
