anni

Anni is the plural of anno, year. In civil and parish records the phrase di anni or d'anni before a number gives a person's age: di anni trenta, aged thirty. D'età di, of the age of, means the same. The age may be written in words or numerals.

Ages of parents and witnesses could be approximate, so compare several records before fixing a birth year. Anno, singular, is year, and l'anno opens the date of many acts. Mese and mesi, month and months, give the age of an infant.
