She died 11 Jan 1927 at 11:30 pm at house number 820 in contrada Corr…, age 73(?), born and resided in Alberobello, daughter of deceased Antonio Vito and of deceased Angela DeCaro, and was unmarried.
This appears to be her father's death record in 1878; it gives his deceased wife's name as Angela Santa DeCarlo: https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12657/an_ua3812096/wEOobx6
And this appears to be her 1853 birth record: https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12657/an_ua243672/LPbBBpY

Thank you very much for translating the records, and the extra information. She is my great-grandmother who gave birth to Filippo Negri / Martellotta 1889 Alberobello ( my grandfather) with an unknown man. I'm trying to find the birth father. I'm having a tough time with it, some of the records are locked. I do have my grandfather's birth record and marriage. If there is any suggestion for me I certainly would appreciate the help. The birth record of my grandfather is under two names, Negri ( from the town hall) and his mother's surname is Martellotta.

Which records are locked that you are looking for and why do you think they would help? If you have your grandfather's birth and marriage record and they don't list a father, that means he didn't come forward to legally recognize him. The fact that your GGM is listed as being single on her death record means she didn't marry in a civil ceremony. They might have had a church marriage, but to my knowledge church records for Alberobello aren't available online anywhere. Your only other viable option is DNA.
edit: how do you know Margarita Martellota is his mother, since the birth record says his parents are unknown?
Second edit: I see in the allegati for his marriage that his mother came forward to recognize him: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3QS7-89G8-M9WG-K?i=1264&cat=703993

Thank you for clarifying the Italian marriage customs. The records for the year my grandfather was born in, 1889, were inaccessible, and I was hoping to find a baptism record that might include his father's name. I'm disappointed to learn that there are no church records available. I may need to hire a genealogist to visit the Town Hall and the church to see if there is any information that was never made public. I'm sure that would be a big expense! That is my only brickwall I want to break through it….lol

The town hall isn't going to have the father's information, if it wasn't on the birth record or the recognition by the mother or the marriage record, then legally the father is unknown.
Most Italian church records are not online as they are not public records and it is generally the purview of the diocese to publish them. If you want to search church records then hiring a professional is the way to go.
