Live and learn, if you do this you gotta keep trying alternatives rather than stop on error. If you actually replace our transcription with the right letters you come out to

A NOME DEI NOSTI TRE VECCHI A NTENATI
IO BATTEZZO IL LOCALE EFORMO SOCIETA COME
BATTEZZA VANO E FORMAVA NO I NOSTRI TRE
VECCHI A NTENATI SE LORO BATTEZZA VA NO CON
FORRI CATEOE E CAMICIE DI FORZA IO
BATTEZZO E FORMO CON FERRI CATENE E
CAMICIE DI FORZA SE LORO BATTEZZA VA NO

With the spacing errors in the original removed and two typos I made removed, we'd have had :

a bcde feg bcijg jke lemmng abjebajg
gc oajjeppc gq qcmaqe e rckdc icmgeja mcde
oajjeppalabc e rckdalabc g bcijkg jke

rekkg majebe e madgmge fg rckpa gc
oajjeppc e rckdc mcb rekkg majebe e
madgmge fg rckpa ie qckc oajjeppalabc

The key to which being that abjebajg actually'd have worked in step two yielding antenati (ancestors). Live and learn, if you do this you gotta keep trying alternatives rather than stop on error.

Fuckwits misspelled... consistently. Anyway, thanks a lot! Ai de pula mea, deci :

You can post links just fine, but count to five before you hit submit. That's weird, it really shouldn't have anything to do with it.
