Record #5
10th of January?
I cannot make out the names, ages, etc of the people reporting at all…
Nicolo Gorgone, 42..?
Francesco… ?
Giovanna… is she 62?
Born in Patti, daughter of Domenico (right?) who was a… stazzonero?
And Nunzia Virgilio?
And I presume (as this is San Piero Patti) that when they write Patti, they mean the coastal Patti (and it’s not shorthand for San Piero Patti)
Thanks!

Maestro Nicolo Gorgone, 42, carpenter
Francesco Lauria, 62, butcher
Giovanna Giaimo, 62, widow of maestro Ignazio Costa
Yes, born in Patti, she was a spinner, daughter of deceased Domenico, occupation may have to do with heavy loading/labor.
and of Nunzia Virgilio, both residing in Patti in their lifetimes.
Yes, I believe Patti refers to the comune of Patti.

"Stazzonaro" è un termine che indica un artigiano che lavora in una bottega, in particolare nel contesto della lavorazione della ceramica. Il termine deriva dall'antico italiano "stazzone", che significa bottega, e dal latino "statione". In pratica, uno stazzonaro è un vasaio, un cretaio, un figulo o uno scodellaro, tutti termini che si riferiscono a artigiani che lavorano con l'argilla.
