I'm not sure in what sense "Pagina 59" is the first in your list - your
input and output lists don't seem to correspond. But you can of course
remove the first in the list by changing the variable from

> <xsl:variable name="g" select="//mets:div[matches(@LABEL, '^Pagina
[0-9]+$')]"/>

to

<xsl:variable name="g" select="remove(//mets:div[matches(@LABEL, '^Pagina
[0-9]+$')], 1)"/>
