domiciliato

Domiciliato is Italian for "residing" or "domiciled" (domiciliata for a woman); it gives where a person lived when the act was written.

Domiciliato is the past participle of domiciliare, to take up residence, and means domiciled or living in a place. In civil acts it follows the name, age and occupation of each person: domiciliato in questo comune, living in this comune, or domiciliato in Napoli.

Domicile can differ from birthplace, so a phrase like nato in Avellino e domiciliato in Atripalda gives you two places to search. Abitante, inhabitant, and abitazione, home, are related words in the same records.
