Can I have some help translating a church file please?

OK sorry about my my state of complete disarray....the files I am interested in seeing are the last two entries on the left page.....Giovanni Talamelli

The image you posted (which looks amazing by the way, where is it from?) is far too small for us to translate. Could you possibly zoom in on the entry you need?

Thanks!

Hi James, this is a photograph of a church record for the parish San Cesareo from 1864/63. What I am looking for the specific information on is the last two entries on the left hand page and it seems to wrap to the top of the next page. For what it's worth I think that it roughly mentions that there is a letter from prison that they are waiting for with Giovanni's record....and that he died in Parma (it relates to another posting I made earlier in the other forum about locating prison records.....I want to be sure that I haven't missed anything pertinent to getting those prison records)

I hope this works

Elba and Lucap......thank you so much for the information.

I kind of got the gist.....but wanted to make sure that I was correct in my assumption particularily about the prison information......

Just curious, considering that the second entry specifically mentions 'dawn' do you think Giovanni was executed? I am kind of assuming yes.....but you never know.

Just so you know a little about what you translated.....Giovanni Talamelli is my GGG grandfather and he was 48 at his passing...I think that the Priest simply copied what was on the letter that came from Parma.....despite his young age he had 6 children and it seems no one else landed in jail (at least as far as I can tell)......in another post, I have asked the question and am trying to find out how you can get a hold of prison records....this is kind of interesting becuase Giovanni is from the coast, the city of Fano in the province of Pesaro.....a very long way indeed from Parma......but now I am rambling. Sorry.


Thanks again.

What I did find strange on the second translation was the total absence of any comment on the blessing and the funeral. Just the bare fact that he joined the Lord ('died') at dawn...

I don't know about Italy, but in the UK when capital punishment was still in use, anyone who was hanged/executed could not be buried in "hallowed ground". If I remember correctly they were interred in a quiet corner of the prison grounds.

I'm sure there are some here who will know what the custom was here in Italy, and also how you can obtain (if possible) prison records.

Fedele Eusebio figlio di Pietro Salamelli

Sorry, I wasn't sure it was a S or a T and I wrote Salamelli instead Talamelli; maybe I had to use the fallowing sign: (!)
However the age related by the priest is very accurated: are you sure he was really 48 at that moment?

Hi Lucap

Yes I am sure of the age, I have his birth records from the church as well the fact that his first born child would have been conceived at 15 if the number 40 was accurate.... I think the priest, it seems to me is writing down the information that he received in a letter and simply making note of the information....not sure that the prison was necessarily accurate about the information.


Hi Elba, I believe from all I have read that the same holds true for Italy about the burial in hallowed ground after an execution (I am not sure the priest is implying he was buried only that he was recording the death)....I am trying to figure out right now about getting those prison records, I am curious as to why he was in a prison so very far away from home.....his hometown is Fano and the prison is in Parma......the suspicion is that perhaps he was caught up in revolutionary activity?....becuase I think that if he committed a crime locally he would have simply been jailed either in his hometown or in the next nearest large city (Pesaro or Urbino)

This is an interesting albeit gruesome and ghoulish hunt!!! Thanks for the help.
