Giovanna (Luigi Fiore's mother; surname uncertain)

[[evidence:WEB-20261029-010402-f79e35fb|Luigi Fiore's original 1845 death — source catalog, scan pending]]

Mother of Luigi Fiore, explicitly named as the late Giovanna in Luigi's 1845 death act. The surname is provisionally read Iaudella/Iandella; preserve the uncertainty pending independent corroboration. This uncertainty concerns surname transcription, not the act's explicit maternal relationship. No exact birth, death, birthplace or earlier parents established. Do not merge with a namesake on this tentative surname.

Original San Lorenzo Maggiore death act 12, registered 18 April 1845 at 15:00, records Luigi Fiore's death on 16 April at 01:00 in his own home. Luigi is explicitly husband of Mariangela Pedicini, born Vitulano, age 84, a molinaro (miller), domiciled in San Lorenzo Maggiore, strada lo Capo. Father: the late Carmine Fiore, also a molinaro, formerly domiciled in Vitulano. Mother: the late Giovanna, surname working reading Iaudella/Iandella, formerly domiciled there. The maternal surname is not securely normalized; parentage and given name are clear. Exact parental birth/death dates and their own parents are not supplied.

Identity correlation: exact wife, surname variant, miller occupation, Vitulano origin and San Lorenzo residence match Luigi in Giuseppe's 1828 marriage and Pietro Antonio's 1818 birth/1831 death. Reported age 84 implies about 1761, conflicting with age 50 in 1818 (about 1768); preserve both age observations and do not assert an exact birth year.
