Serafina Masucci - death record

Could you please provide the translation for this 1855 death record? The image is on page 34. I believe that Serafina is the wife of Elia Tedesco and the mother of Gerardo Tedesco.

Interesting. So there was no mention of her deceased spouse, Elia Tedesco, or her son, Gerardo Tedesco, who was still living at the time?

Correct. Children generally aren't mentioned, although I have seen them mentioned in some towns. Have you seen this as the norm in Giffoni Valle Piana? I also wondered that there was no mention of her husband or marriage status. Maybe the declarants were uncertain of this detail? Are you certain you have the correct people? A good way of checking is to find their marriage document listing parents' names, if they are are online. Parents listed on marriage record should tally with parents listed on death record.
