Kate,
Just a couple of corrections to Justin's work; I can see why some of the letters were mixed up. The first line read
Nitoria bat Mordechai mi-Norzi eshet Shimshon ben Enielle [sic] Finzi. This means Notoria, daughter of Mordecai from Norzi, wife of Samson, son of Enielle (?) [sic] Finzi. Then follows the Hebrew year [4]426, equivalent to 1667.
Norzi probably being derived from the Italian town Norcia. The surname Norzi is a famous Italian Jewish one.
http://www.jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=344&letter=NItalian is not my strong point, so I'll move on to the Hebrew.
Be-mekom Enielle yesh Aviad Yisrael, which literally means "in place of Enielle there is Aviad Israel," presumably meaning that this Enielle was also known by the Hebrew names Aviad Israel. Then follows the Hebrew year [4]430, this time without the Christian equivalent, 1670.
The Hebrew toward the end reads
tashmishei kedusha which means "sacred objects" or "vocation." Here I'm assuming it's a reference to a tombstone inscription, and at the end it reads
shema ha-tze'irah Vittoria . . . eshet km"r Aminadav mi-Pano "here likes the youthful Vittoria . . . wife of his honor, rabbi Aminadav of Pano" (also a famous Italian Jewish family name, as nearly all Italian Jewish surnames seem to be!). Below is the date [4]424/ 1624.
As for the style of writing, it is the Sephardic cursive known colloquially as Rashi or Rabbinic script. Italians used this script as well. Ashkenazim used it almost exclusively in printing, although the Ashkenazic cursive script is ultimately derived from this script (or at least it's ancestor).
I actually posted about this script a couple of times

http://tinyurl.com/yfs52m3there are a number of notebooks of 19th century Italian scholar Isaac Samuel Reggio, and they're all written in that script.
The second one, with Cologna, I can only make out a word here or there, so I'm not much help, although there are date, like the month of Kislev (December) 1771 .
