Possibily Santo Manzo, with a badly formed letter "a".

Are you able to post the complete document please. Ta.

Hi there

The writing is small and when I blow it up it goes out of focus. If the record is online, can you link me to that please.

Thank you.

Hi there

Thank you for posting this link. While it so much clearer, I still can't work out for sure, what the name is. It looks like it may have been written down phonetically. If you know the town that Giuseppe was born in, you can search for his birth record, born circa 1881. If the records are not on line, then I would suggest you write to the town, and request his birth record or you could write to the Province and request his "Lista di Leva" which would include the names of both his parents. To request his "Lista di Leva" you really need to know his exact year of both.

BTW do you know the names of his children?
