Here are some notes about this data base.In Italy today there is a difference between a person's full name and the "administrative" name used by the anagrafe office. Usually, the administrative name is the person's first (given) name, or the first two if they go together as one name - for example, Maria Rosa or Gian Paolo - whereas the full name may include several names. Only the administrative name is shown on a certificate of birth, so it is necessary to have the extract of the original document to obtain the person's full, legal name. (Some European countries, Italy among them, have laws regarding the naming of children. The English tradition of passing the same name from father to son, with the use of "senior" and "junior" to distinguish them, is prohibited in Italy; so, in Italy, a man's first name may not be the same as his father's because this would give them the same administrative name. Even in earlier periods, a father's name was normally given to his son only if the father died before the son's birth. Instead, Italians traditionally name their children after the children's grandparents.) |
