Does anyone have any idea how to order a birth certificate from Italy, and obviously how one would navigate the Italian language?

I have received the death printout.  Unfortunately there is no additional information on it. The parents name fields were blank  :(

It is under 'Bussy' (mistranscribed I suspect from the original handwriting)
Unfortunately I don't think this is correct, as when I went to order the Death Printout I noticed the date recorded as Death printout from 1 Jan 1875
I think the name Anthony Bussy must have been pure coincidence or am I showing how new I am to this research thing and this actually means from 1 Jan 1875 onwards?

Thanks Lucy2.  It definitely sounds like the death certificate might be the best approach in the first instance.  Hopefully, as Antonio's death was after 1876 it will list the Name of father, and Name and maiden surname of mother.

Thank you all so much for the information shared/found so far. This will go a long way in getting the Ball rolling.
goldie61 When I said my aunt "never really got anywhere" I meant this relation to the end goal and did not mean any disrespect to all the people who provided leads in the original post.  I found the Burial details posted by minniehaha in the original post I have been to Waikumete Cemetary and found Antonio Plot.  There is no gravestone there so I will work through that with the wider family.  I have also found the plots for several other family members all at Waikumete Cemetery.  I will order the death certificate, and Marriage certificate, hopefully they will provide some valuable insight

I am trying to trace my ancestry, but I have no idea where to start.  I found a post on this forum back in 2011 where I believe my Aunty was asking for some information, but never really got anywhere. 

All I know is my Great x 3 Grandfather Antonio was born in Naples, Italy, in 1841, and married Mary Jane Moore in New Zealand.  The story we have been told is that told he changed his last name from Gussette to Gussy (Gussey, Gusei), but where & when this occurred, I do not know.  Any idea's if there would be records available for name changes? I believe this could be the best approach in trying to confirm what our actual family name is, and how our family lineage links back to Italy.

Thanks in advance for any help / assistance that is provided
