Death No 179: Mauro Candida
Molfetta: 8 March 1904

Appearing before the official were Francesco Prezioso, 50 yo, calzolaio (cobbler/shoemaker) and Sergio Prezioso, 40 yo, calzolaio, both living in Molfetta. They reported that at 10.30 p.m. yesterday, in the house in Via Magenta, No 16, Mauro Candida died at the age of 53. He was a watchmaker, born and residing in Molfetta, the son of the deceased Achille (Candida) and of the deceased Maria Domenica Vesti; and the husband of Anna Maria Turtur?

Great. Thanks for confirming. I did remember that name from another translation I did. It just didn't look so much like a match in this record.
