* The record was amended on 1893-09-27 to correct the father's name as such. Originally, it read 'Antonio Vito'. There is another margin note that seems to be an indication of marriage, but maybe some other members could parse that better.

Thank you all so much for the translations, I really appreciate it. Would you know if this is a common practice to have a name change this late in life and what for? Any comments of what you think.?

It's more likely a clerical error. Find his birth certificate to see for sure.

The 1893 correction was made to 12 children's birth records going back to 1851: https://www.antenati.san.beniculturali.it/ark:/12657/an_ua4287373/LpkzY2V
The orders only say that the father's name was erroneously written as Antonio Vito rather than Vitantonio in each instance.
