Thank you!!

How would I find out what parish it was? Was there only one Catholic Church in Lipari at the time?
Would there have been any records that could possibly have shown a photo of Domenico or the Spinella family?
I've been able to find some really interesting info regarding my ancestors, but no photos as of yet?

Thanks again for the help!

I suspect it was the Lipari Cathedral (Cattedrale di San Bartolomeo) - the record indicates that the civil official received the information about the baptism from "Il Parroco de questo Cattedrale"

Here is the information about the church.
