Maggio is Italian for May, from Latin Maius; in an act it reads addì nove del mese di maggio, on May 9.
Maggio is May, from Latin Maius. In acts it follows the day and del mese di: addì nove del mese di maggio, on the ninth of May. The abbreviation is mag.
Look for the double g to tell maggio from marzo, March. As an old adjective maggio could also mean greater, and maggiore means eldest, as in figlio maggiore, eldest son, so do not take every word starting maggi- for the month.
