Calogero Farruggia "da unione illegittima" (born of an illegitimate union)
He was born 6 Oct 1878 of the union of Vincenzo Farruggia and an unmarried, unrelated woman. (The woman is not named)
IN THE MARGIN … it says that Calogero Farruggia was legitimized when Vincenzo Farruggia married Giovanna Bonaffino 8 Jan 1885 in Pietrapezia. Sadly, there are no marriage records for 1885, nor is there a 10-year index that inlcudes 1885.
Hope this helps you in your research.

Perfect! Thank you so much. Does it give ages of parents or where they are from?

You're most welcome.
Vincenzo is stated to be 34 years old, living in Pietrapezia. No town of birth is listed.
As previosuly stated, no birth mother is listed.
No age or other information is listed in the margin note for the woman he married, Giovanna.

You are lucky that Pietraperzia church records are available in FamilySearch. Ironically, according to the church baptism record of Calogero (entry no. 57, https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-XCCS-RHN?i=347&cat=1546860), his parents married in the church on 22 Jul 1894:

Vincenzo is son of deceased Calogero and of deceased Rosa Strazzante. Maria Giovanna is daughter of Aurelio and of Ignazia Giglio. No ages are provided.
Also the 1885 civil marriage record, although not in Antenati, may be in DGS 7843973 in this catalog: https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/577553?availability=Family%20History%20Library
However, you will need to go to a FamilySearch Center or FamilySearch Affiliate Library to access it.
