So in Italy, what properties would you use on a
reference to a birth
record, for example?
I don't know about properties, but for people born in the 1960s or later
it should be possible to ask (a transcript of) the birth certificate
from the municipality of birth. I'm not sure you get a protocol number
or whatever that could be cited and be valid for others, though. People
who tried using such sources on the Italian Wikipedia have faced immense
opposition.
