Help translating 1896 birth record?

[robertk]

Yesterday I got a giant break in my family tree research when I found out the birth name of one of my maternal great-grandfathers. I was able to find a US naturalization petition with his DOB and birth city on the petition (got really lucky here) and then what I believe is his birth record in the archives for San Fele, Italy.

Could someone please help me translate the certificate? I want to verify that I found the correct person and fill in his parents on the family tree. Thank you in advance for your help!!

His record is attached as an image, and, for reference, here's a link to it (he is the lower part of the right page): https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903 ... cc=1483052

Thank you PippoM!

Also want to share Tessa78's translation that she did for me as I was waiting for this post to be approved, in case the longer translation may be helpful to anyone:

Record #265
Dated 15 November 1896 in Sanfele
Before the official appeared Mariantonia Maula, 66yo midwife, resident of Sanfele, to declare that at 4 PM on the 13th of the current month, at the house in Via Torretta, to Maria Tafaro, farmer, wife of Antonio Serritella, farmer, both residing together, was born a male child who she (midwife) presented to the official, and to whom was given the name GIUSEPPE
To the above act (declaration) were present as witnesses: Michelangelo Cappiello, 46, mule driver; and Giuseppe Di Giacomo, 42, landowner, both residing in this town.
The declaration of said birth was made by the midwife because she assisted in the birth and in place of the husband who was absent from the country.
The witnesses signed with the official as the others were illiterate.
