I have not found any records of baptism, marriage or death for my great-great-great-great-great-grandfather Pietro Ricotta, but I know his name from baptism records of his offspring.

The 1715 AD 'Riveli di Bene e Anime' (Census of Goods and Souls) for Serradifalco lists information for Pietro Ricotta.

Michelangelo's baptism record corroborates the information in the census. His christened name was Michele Gerlando. (Michael Gerlandus in Latin.)
