What it contains instead is a maternal consent, taken on 28 January 1808 by the notary Giacomo Micoli del fu Francesco in his study at Muina, from «Donna Maria nata Corva, vedova del fu Antonio de Franceschi», «ad istanza fattale da suo figlio Osvaldo» — at the request of her son.

…There are two honest readings and this archive is not going to pick one without a second document. The first is that she was born a de Franceschi. That is not a strange thing to propose here: the 1808 death act says in as many words that Antonio de Franceschi's wife was «Giovanna, pure de Franceschi» — also a de Franceschi — and the registrar wrote pure precisely so nobody would read it as a slip of the pen. Two De Franceschi couples in seven years, in a village of a few dozen houses, is what endogamy…
