Maybe this has been answered before but I missed it? Where are the records for the years after 1860
I know some areas have a few after that time period but not many of the towns I have been searching have them. I also look on familysearch.org to find them but most are not there for that time period. I know there are later ones sometimes past 1900 but that doesn't help me. Also, is there a gazetteer for Italy? I am searching for towns that don't seem to appear any more on a map. How can I find out what archive has the towns I am looking for? For an example: Vico Nel Lazio. Familysearch has a very few films and Antenati won't even recognize that name...Sincerely, Carrie T

There is a privacy act birth records of 100 years marriage records 80 years and death records 30 years. When the Missionaries filmed the records it might have fallen that 1860 and beyond fell in the privacy year period and so they were not filmed. Check antenati and matricula to see if your records might have been digitized there.

If you are using Antenati.it, sometimes they stop their records at the time of Italy's Unification, (1860) for some, not all, Provinces/Communes. However, I have found in these cases, you can many times using the Wiki Research on Familysearch.org access the records post-1860 in the areas you want. I don't understand the reasoning but it works for me a lot. As to the privacy laws, I do not know when any of these ancestral websites will be updated. It isn't happening on a rolling basis, i.e., adding a year to public records when it reaches the timeline threshold. I am not clear about whether if more current records were recorded and not published by LDS and when they intend to do so. Good luck.

Vico nel Lazio is in the Frosinone Province in the Lazio region according to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vico_nel_Lazio.
Some records are in the FamilySearch catalog under "Italy, Frosinone" and then I searched for Vico nel Lazio under "Places within Frosinone"--https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/723904?availability=Family%20History%20Library.
If this does not cover the years you need then I suggest you contact the parish priest and/or town sindaco (mayor) directly--on Indettaglio there's the following info: for the two Catholic parishes--http://italia.indettaglio.it/eng/lazio/viconellazio.html#chiese and for the town council http://italia.indettaglio.it/eng/lazio/viconellazio.html#amministrazione. I suggest you email or call them to see if they can give you the info you need. Letter writing is not usually very productive although this guide will help you know what to say in an email or via the phone: https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Italy_Letter_Writing_Guide. You may check FaceBook or Google for additional contact info. Here's a Catholic directory as well: https://www.catholicdirectory.com/italy/lazio?page=21&.
Buona Fortuna
