Vincenzo was the 9 year old son of Saverio Zappavigna, ox cart driver, and his wife Rosa Mazzapica.
Record dated 11 August 1830 in Tresilico, death on 10 August at 1:30 AM.

In the death act for Saverio that you posted, I believe his father was "deceased Vincenzo." By tranditional naming tradition, the above child was most likely the first child born to the couple.

Do you have the marriage act for Saverio and Rosa?
Marriage in 1818 in Tresilico

#6

Groom: Saverio Zappavigna of Ardore, age 25, travagliatore, residing in this town. Son of deceased Vincenzo [Zappavigna], and of Maria Zappavigna of the town of Ardore, who gives her consent.
Bride: Rosa Mazzapica, age 15, of this town, daughter of deceased Francesco [Mazzapica], and of Teresa Luppino, widow, of this town, who gives her consent.

Thank you very much Tessa. That will help me very much in my family tree. I have tried looking at some of the Marriage Act announcements, but I have a hard time reading the handwriting. Thank you again!!!

This is the birth act in 1821 of the first Vincenzo born to the couple.
He was born on 9 December 1821 at 11 AM to Saverio Zappavigna, age 34, laborer; and his wife Rosa Mazzapica, age 22.
He was given the name Vincenzo, Antonino, Francesco, and baptized the same day at the Church of S. Catarina, Virgin and Martyr.

NOTE: You can see that the ages of Saverio and Rosa are very fluid in these records. The accurate age would be on the marriage act as they would have been required to provide their birth acts in order to be married.

Tessa, thank you! You have helped me very much. I did find the birth act for Vincenzo and was going to list it tomorrow. I don't want to put too many requests on in one day
