Thank you!

It might be an abbreviation for maestro, I had that appear on one of Ignazio's other records...

Honestly when I'm hit with that wall of handwriting my brain kind of gets overwhelmed and checks out.

Do you think it's Patti as in the San Piero Patti they are in, or the Patti out on the coast? (I'm not sure if it's shorthand for San Piero, or if he moved.)
