Orsola was the daughter of deceased Michele-not of deceased Nicola. She was a donna di casa, never married. Yes, the notary act recognized Oto as her natural son. I read the date as Nov 7th, but not sure if the year is 1895 or 1894.

The town of the marriage was Paganica, which should be in the province of L'Aquila. Not sure of Caterina's surname-Ludanti (?)
