Translating “Sebastiano Abbondanza”

Post by ameb10 »

Hello all, I am very grateful for the help I have received in the past and I was wondering if anyone could assist me in a translation. One of my direct ancestors, Sebastiano Abbondanza, was a foundling. I have these documents for him, but I have trouble reading the handwriting and translating it. Could anyone give me a summary or key details?
Also, has anyone had any luck finding out about foundlings? Is there a way to find out Sebastiano’s parents?

Thank you! If these photos and links are of the birth of Sebastiano Abbondanza, would the links I posted in my original post be for his death? Could you also help me in a translation confirming he is a foundling?

Afterwards we ordered that he be taken to the Parish of the District, so that the Parish Priest will administer the Sacrament of Holy Baptism.
