FOLLOW-UP 30 October 2026 — Independent original for Veneranda now inspected: San Lorenzo Maggiore, Morti 1837, act 18, image 12/49 left, https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12657/an_ua1030675/LD7Zp8n . Registered May 13; death May 12 at 11:00, age 55, contadina, born/resident San Lorenzo Maggiore, wife of Clemente di Donato; parents deceased Giovanni Sarrapochiello and Eleonora Antinora (surname corroborated by the original reading). It confirms the couple but supplies no age, parents or Cimitile residence for Clemente. No original file downloaded; attachment remains pending. Bounded negative checks: SLM Morti 1843 annual index images 22–23 (https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12657/an_ua1030699/572Xroz ; https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12657/an_ua1030699/5KX3adj) and Diversi 1843 images 2–5/index (https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12657/an_ua1030213/Lo6zo2N) contain no Clemente entry found. This is not an exhaustive absence claim. Comparison remains needs-evidence; next seek Angelo's earlier marriage to Maria Grazia Iannotti and its supporting papers.
UPDATE 30 October 2026 — The independent Cimitile original has now been visually inspected. Morti 1843 act 2, image 4/27, records Clemente di Donato, 80, born San Lorenzo Maggiore, death February 17, 1843, with BOTH PARENTS UNKNOWN. Separate annual index confirms act 2/date. The packet's act 6, February 10/11, Pasquale, occupation, residence and first declarant age differ; original act 6 is another person. Matching name, age, birthplace, both informants and householder strongly associate act 2 with this inaccurate extract. Pasquale is not corroborated. Death identification with Angelo's father remains qualified; Antonio's link remains supported by the baptism and paternal-grandfather extract. See new catalog WEB-20261030-205714-6a41f028 and https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12657/an_ua26124/LeVYNe5 ; index https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12657/an_ua26086/02x2PXL . The earlier request below to inspect the original is superseded; full-resolution attachments are still pending.
CORRECTION29October2026: Item6 below superseded in part by original1819register inspection. Carmine's mother reads TERESA (working surname Pirozzolo), not Anna. The earlier67 reading is insecure: clearer1855copy appears97; exactage remains unresolved, no birthyear inferred. Original act7 image8right https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12657/an_ua1077457/5Kvpgj3 and annualindex image2 https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12657/an_ua1077457/wrRyDqz . New catalog WEB-20261029-203531-61d36404. Original1819 register now inspected; no original file attached. Previous annotation below retained explicitly as superseded where it saysAnna,age67,about1752,ororiginaluninspected.
Archivio di Stato di Benevento, Stato civile della restaurazione, San Lorenzo Maggiore, Matrimoni, processetti 1855, current shelfmark 1608, Antenati unit 1030388, marriage packet 16. Cover at image 190 identifies Angelo di Donato and Giovanna Maria Fiore: https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12657/an_ua1030388/LD7ZDaO . Certified supporting extracts inspected October 29, 2026. These are nineteenth-century certified copies; the underlying registers have not all been separately inspected.
1. Angelo's birth/baptism: image 191, https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12657/an_ua1030388/Lm6ZJKB . Certificate dated June 14, 1855 quotes parish book 2, page 65, no. 3: January 23, 1808, born the same day, parents Clemente Antonii di Donato and Veneranda Joannis Sarrapochiello, married. The Latin patronymics explicitly identify Antonio as Clemente's father and Giovanni as Veneranda's father.
2. Veneranda's death: image 200, https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12657/an_ua1030388/wE1dDB7 . Morti 1837 act 18: died May 12 at 11:00 in her home; registered May 13. Age 55, contadina, born and domiciled San Lorenzo Maggiore, wife of Clemente di Donato. Parents deceased Giovanni Sarrapochiello, contadino, and deceased Eleonora (surname working reading Antinora), formerly domiciled there. Given names and parentage clear; mother's surname remains qualified.
3. Antonio's death: image 201, https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12657/an_ua1030388/58J2O3X . Act 41, September 1, 1821, explicitly labeled groom's paternal grandfather. Antonio di Donato, son of deceased Clemente and deceased Caterina (working surname di Cassano), husband of Crescenza Ferrara, contadino, born/resident San Lorenzo Maggiore, Strada Sopral'... (street not normalized). Age reading 73 requires corroboration. Earlier parents and wife are research leads, not new linked profiles in this batch.
IMPORTANT CONFLICT: image 198, https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12657/an_ua1030388/Lp7vzmM , quotes Cimitile act 6, February 10/11, 1843, for Clemente di Donato, 80, son of deceased Pasquale and unknown mother. This conflicts with the baptism's Antonio patronymic and the grandfather extract. Do not adopt that copy as the existing Clemente's death or add Pasquale without checking the independent original; a namesake or erroneous supporting extract is possible. Antonio's link rests on the baptism and corroborating grandfather extract, not the conflicting copy.
4. Maria Grazia Iannotti's death: image 202, https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12657/an_ua1030388/02qEgdy . Morti 1847 act 22: died May 29 at 15:00 in her home; registered May 30. Age 33, contadina, born/resident San Lorenzo Maggiore, wife of Angelo di Donato. Parents deceased Carlo Iannotti, contadino, and deceased Raffaela Pezzillo, formerly resident there. This corroborates the prior-wife identification in Angelo's 1855 marriage.
5. Luigi Fiore's death: image 203, https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12657/an_ua1030388/LqmWz1m , corroborates the independently inspected 1845 act 12: husband of Mariangela Pedicini, parents Carmine Fiore and Giovanna (surname Iandella/Iaudella reading still qualified).
6. Carmine Fiore's death: image 204, https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12657/an_ua1030388/w1boxZr ; duplicate image 205 https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12657/an_ua1030388/w6q41MK . Santa Croce, order 7, February 8, 1819. Carmine, reported 67, molinaro, domiciled Santa Croce, son of late Domenico and Anna (surname working reading Pirozzolo). Explicitly labeled bride's paternal grandfather; matches occupation and Vitulano locality in Luigi's death. Age implies about 1752, which must be weighed against Luigi's conflicting approximate 1761/1768 ages. No exact Carmine birth year asserted; parentage, not an estimated birth date, is the finding. Street reading remains unnormalized.
7. Biagio Tomasiello's death: image 208, https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12657/an_ua1030388/572XV7A . Morti 1854 act 30: died August 14 at 22:00 in his home; registered August 15. Age 55, contadino, born/resident San Lorenzo Maggiore, husband of Maria Giovanna Fiore. Father Domenico Tomasiello, contadino, and mother deceased Isabella (working surname Iafusco), formerly resident there. The surname uncertainty is preserved.
