LOL - thanks, bbivona :-)
I had gone back into my post to change the ending of the surname to "o" from "a" but had failed to delete the "a"...

What is you opinion on the mother's surname?

I'm thinking it's Scotta. Could be Scotto, but if it is the "o" is different than the "o" at the end of Castelbuono and ventotto, so I lean to Scotta. If that's it though, the "a" is not the same as the "a" in Failla. Still, it looks more like "a" than "o" to me.

EDIT: Athena seems sure it's Scotto. So much for my in-depth analysis.
