In Italian records, the registrar often indicated the exact time of day when an event occurred. This is generally written out, for example:
L’anno del Signore milleottocentocinquantasette ed alli undici del mese di gennaio alle ore sei della mattina
Translates to:
In the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred fifty-seven on the eleventh of the month of January at six o’clock in the morning
