Appearing was Giovanni Gippetto, 24 yo, bracciale (day labourer) living in Marineo, in the neighbourhood of Sant’Antonio di Padova. He presented a baby boy who he reported was born from Cira La Motta, his wife, 22 yo, living in this same town and neighbourhood. The baby was born on 14 February 1821 at 8 pm in his parents own home and given the name Silvestre. http://dl.antenati.san.beniculturali.it ... ewsIndex=0
