Wrong Indexing Location? Please confirm
I found an indexed and searchable baptism record for Valeria Ugolina Teresa Martini in Castelnuovo. The date of birth is 13 April 1880. The issue I don't know how to resolve is the indexing information. The batch of baptism records show Turin (see top left). But the indexed location for the baptism is Castelnuovo Abruzzo Citra, which is northeast of Rome.
These are very different locations. The church of the baptism is Chiesa San Andrea Apostolo. There is a church with that name in Castelnuovo near Torino.
I tried to find a civil record for the child to help confirm which location is correct. However, I have not been successful with either location.
Please advise. Thanks, Rosalia

@RosaliaC.M. from the catalog entry linked above:
The towns included are: … Castelnuovo d'Asti (Castelnuovo Don Bosco)
The parish church of Sant'Andrea is the chiesa matrice of the comune. It is about 30 km east of Torino.

There is a reported issue with the wrong place showing at the top left in the newer image viewer.
That record is on DGS 7960780, as indicated in the citation box. The film notes show that record set includes a very long list of places within the Diocese of Torino. https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/414653
DGS 7960780 is reported as covering Carignano to Giaveno.
Hope this helps.

Thank you. Do you confirm that this Castelnuovo is in the Torino area?

Thanks Vinny. That makes sense. I looked at some of the records before and after the one in question. There was something written after Castelnuovo. I can see now it is "d'Asti". Thank you
