I remember helping you on a couple of threads. Can't help you with Italian for Luvate. I would suspect it has a similar sound. Also Italy was on the verge of being unified in 1799. Napoleon did that in 1800 so I can imagine 1799 was a time of chaos. You may have difficulty finding anything. This site gives you a good overview: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~itawgw/contents/records/italian_records.html Ozi Update: just done some googling and Italian names like Labate, L'Abbate, La Bate seem to pop up.
