Answer
Hello Chris,

I'd like to help you, but I would need to see this document or a part of this text at least.

So, could you please copy this text and send me it?

This way I could try to decipher its meaning, if this text is a mix of Italian, Latin and Abruzzi dialect.

Looking forward to hearing from you soon, greetings from Italy.

Maria
