Note: Notes for Maria Falbo then Farba: A photo of Maria's 1851 birth and baptismal records: <a href="https://goo.gl/photos/EEcqhWgFJQ5mTQC7A">Photo</a>
Italian women of the time almost always kept their full birth name for life. They did not take on their husband's last name when they got married.
But at some point between early 1874 and August of 1879, the married Maria Falbo apparently deliberately changed her last name - for some unknown reason - from Falbo to Farba.
Maria's death certificate stated her last name as Farba, as did the birth records of her youngest children. Maria's death certificate includes a lot of information, including Maria's age, sixty-one; occupation, housewife; residence, Casteltermini; birthplace, Cattolica Eraclea; the names of her parents, Emanuele (last name unstated, but it was Falbo) and Rosalia Luceri; and the name of her (late) husband, Giuseppe Marsala: <a href="https://goo.gl/photos/gvnP6sFXfpGcm64i7">Photo</a>
