Can anyone help me identify these Italian place names from an 1898 Brazilian document?

Can anyone help me identify these Italian place names from an 1898 Brazilian document?

Hello! I'm Brazilian and I'm researching my Italian ancestor, Antonio Tripoli/Tripodi Labriola.

I found a Brazilian document from 1939 where he states he was born in Italy. The names of the places were recorded in Portuguese, probably based on how they sounded when spoken, and I couldn't identify the corresponding places in Italy.

The document seems to say that he was born in "Castelo Bengue" and was baptized in the parish of "Valle Cantelina," in the district of "Castelo de Buqui."

It also states that his parents were Nicolau Tripoli/Tripodi and Anna Marcos. Their names may have been adapted to Portuguese as well.

I'm attaching the original excerpt from the document. Anyone who knows Italian genealogy, historical place names, or old parishes could help me identify what these places might actually be called in Italian?

Any hint would be very important to me. Thank you!
