39 It is possible that this is the link to the "countess". Acc. to Rose P,
she thought that Caterina Priola was the stepmother to Pietro Schimmenti and that the first (real) mother was the daughter of a wealthy family. (the countess???) The birth certificate for Pietro Schimmenti shows Caterina to be his real mother, so did Vincenzo marry a second time???

41 Acc. to Rose P, the reason Caterina was named the same as her sister wa
s because the Godmother-to-be was named Caterina and she was upset that the chil
d was not being named after her. Pietro and Rosalia said that they already had a
daughter named Caterina, but they finally gave in and named the baby after the
godmother.
