Its the altitude compensation.

a simple value like 1010.7 is not helpful itself. But, in relation to my long 
time working with air pressure values, I estimate an error of about 1 hpa is 
correct. Good barometers have an accuracy of about 0.2 hPa, but in reality it 
is a bit worse. 

Also, the exact height over sl for that location may be a bit different from 43 
m. I looked it up at Google earth. There is perhaps another 5 m error or so.

Its better to say:  1010.7 +/- 1 hPa

I suppose, Rossi had a barometer there, I think it is included in the recording 
instrument collecting the temperature values. But we dont know if he looked up 
the value and if it was exacly compensated for altitude.
