I've finally had some luck after a number of years of looking for my great grandfather. If someone would translate, I would be extremely appreciate. Michael Montebello

FYI: The name "Montebello" (Sicilian 'montebeddu') is the eastern Sicilian nickname for Mt Etna...

So from this translation, the child was abandoned (or a foundling) and both a first name and last name were given to him?

Amazing. Our family lore said the name "Montebello" was selected by my grandfather when he came to America to get away from his parents. Which is all untrue.
