On October 1, 1876 in the city hall at Luogosano appeared Giovanni di Spirito, age 30, farmer, domiciled in Luogosano, who declared that on, September 30, 1876, at 9:10 PM, a male child was born at a home on via Larga Piazza from his union with an unmarried woman, not a relative, ... The last part of the sentence reads né affine nei gradi che ostano al riconoscimento. I'm not completely certain of what this means, but I think that it basically means that her unmarried status precludes her name from being placed in the register.

He declared that the child was given the name of Michele Antonio.

"donna non maritata, non parente, né affine con lui nei gradi che ostano al riconoscimento" means that the mother of Michele Antonio was an unmarried woman, that was not relative or in-law of Giovanni di Spirito (the father) to a degree that would prevent the acknowledgement of the new born.

Thanks for the clarification. That seemed to me like what it meant but the phrasing was a bit unusual and I wasn't sure.
