Scarlet fever went through Vodnjan in December 1830, and the eleven-year-old Pietro De Franceschi died in it.

Ninety days later, 28 February 1824, house 764, a «Pietro De Franceschi q.m Pietro, agricoltore» witnesses — a man whose father Pietro is newly dead, and on the dates almost certainly Bonetta's brother. Left open on purpose: whether this Pietro q.m Domenico is also the «q.m Pietro» who fathered Lucia, married out by 1799. A…

Also «Pietro De Franceschi di Gio., Tessitore» witnessing again on 23 September 1828, in Vodnjan this time and without the «da Dignano», which shows he lived there.

…witnesses twice more the same afternoon (entries 42 and 43, both 25 November 1828), taking him to ten. And the near-miss worth keeping: «Giuseppe figlio del fu Pietro Francin q.m Dom.co de Rondel» — not Franceschi, but the identical patronymic to Pietro De Franceschi's first wife «Veniera Francin q.m Dom.co de Rondel», so this groom is Veniera's nephew and a first cousin of the 1821 bridegroom. Francin is not Franceschi, and in this parish the two families are a household deep in each other. Image 204 read clean.…

…perché è sorto probabilmente appena nel XIX secolo» — in the documents of the Venetian period the term Moncalvo is not used for Gologorizza, because it probably arose only in the nineteenth century. Its evidence is a man of this surname: in 1795 Pietro De Franceschi of Gollogorizza, marrying at Valle, gives only the Croatian name, «perché il nome italiano Moncalvo sembra non esistesse ancora». Camillo De Franceschi — Carlo's son, and the historian of the County of Pisino — is quoted in the same footnote…

The patronymic is the only thing worth trusting Vodnjan produced four men called Pietro De Franceschi and two called Cristoforo, alive in one small town at the same time. They are told apart by «di Giuseppe» against «q.m Gio: Maria» — the father's name — and by nothing else. And the difference between di (father living) and q.m / fu…
