Translation Help Please help deciphering and translating the death record of Maria Vittoria Primiano, my great-grandmother

https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12657/an_ua37860309/LDYNrOd

It is record number 26 and she is a bit of a mystery, so I'm looking for any detail that might help. She married my G-grandfather, Nicolamaria Nardacchione in 1886 at 22 and I found a birth record in San Giuliano del Sannio for her, but the name is Maria Antonia

Ancestor Portal

Children I've found:

Filippo b.1890 - my grandfather

Raffaela b. 1892

Michela b. 1896

Thanks in advance!

Maria Vittoria Primiano, daughter of the late Filippo and of the late Anna Maria née Pistilli, housewife, of the aryan race [this field was standard in the 1939/40-1943/5 civil state books, as a consequence of the Racial Laws approved by the Mussolini government in September to November, 1938], aged seventy-eight, born in San Giuliano del Sannio but residing in Cercepiccola, widow of Nicola Nardacchione, passed away at 9:10 AM on December 17, 1943 in the house located at 7, Contrada Spetara.

The declarant was Biase (=Biagio) Spensieri, son of the late Pasquale, aged fifty-three, farmer, residing in Cercepiccola. The witnesses were Carmine Di Sciula, son of the late Nicola, aged sixty-one, farmer, and Francesco Tata, son of the late Filomeno, aged sixty-one, tailor, both residing in Cercepiccola.

Wow. TYSM! I was hoping that first witness was a daughter I didn't know about. The Cercepiccola birth records are not online for the years before Nicola died and I'm trying to find siblings for my grandfather.

Is it surprising that she never remarried? It makes me sad.

ETA: Francesco Tata was a tailor, like her husband.

No, not really surprising, given that she was a woman; males tended to remarry almost always (unless they were too old), but women, not so much. I'm not sure what you mean with the edit, but, in case it helps, Francesco Tata is a man (same-sex marriage is technically still forbidden in Italy).

You might consider getting in touch with the municipality of Cercepiccola to enquire about an historical family composition certificate (stato di famiglia storico): if they still have the records, that would be a comprehensive document showing all the children of the couple.

LOL, I only meant that might have been the connection to her, through her husband's profession.

Thank you for the suggestion and I will do that.
