Dear Fabio, Thanks for the reponses. 1. So you believe that the age at which a male was taxed varied from place to place? I wonder if male infants were taxed too. 2. Thank you for clarifying bracciale/bracciante. I will email you an image of the word I cannot read. Perhaps you may be able to help identify it. 3. I provide the following examples of same-name entries. Domenico diPietrantonio bracciale Domenico diBartolomeo diPietrantonio bracciale Domenico Grandolfo bracciale Domenico diGiannantonio Grandolfo bracciale I am aware that 'diGiannantonio' is a common last name in the town BUT I've never heard of 'diBartolomeo' in the town. Therefore, you may be correct in saying that one cannot be sure if it's the father's first name, or mother's maiden name, or something else. 4. Thanks for the reference on the Catasti. I'll review it carefully.
