Thank you.

I mean, first things, the book is upside down. That aside . . .
"The 4 Fasts: Of the Sephardic Rite" seems to be the title. Moshe and Shmuel wrote it. It was published in Livorno in Italy.

It's called Seder Arba Taaniyot, which is a tractate on the four public fasts: the 10th of Tevet, the Fast of Esther, the 17th of Tammuz, and Tisha b'Av.
It'd be easier to deal with if you hadn't published the pictures upside down.

I downloaded the main image and flipped it over. At the bottom it says that the authors are Mosheh and Israel Falaji and Shlomoh Bilforti. There is nothing on the page regarding a date. It might be on a page after this one, which is sort of an intro page.

I can't make out anything from the signatory, the handwritten bit. One of the signatures is completely blotted out. Nothing from either one is legible.

I think part of it might say "in/to Italy," no?

I need to print the cover out and turn it around to get a better handle on it. For example, looking upside down I can't tell whether it actually ascribes authorship to Belforte and the Palagi brothers. Belforte and the Palagis were partners in a printing house in Livorno that was highly respected although only Belforte's name was part of the company name.
The printing house was established in the mid 1800s. When Solomon Belforte died his son basically bought out the brothers.
