Need Translation of Marriage Record - Giordano - di Rimini

lindastowemiller

Here is a link to the marriage of Sabato Giordano and Maria di Rimini at Pratola Serra, Avellino, on 21 July 1864. I am not sure of the information about the groom and bride (is Sabato and widower?) and their parents. Also, there is a list of documents which would be included in the Procetti (I assume). Where can I find those? I couldn't bring up any records for that locality in FamilySearch (I am probably doing something wrong).

Ancestors Portal (beniculturali.it)

See page 15 and 16 of 27. (It doesn't go to the exact image, but that is where it is)

Also, is there a way to determine the church where they would have been married (to find a picture of it).

I would appreciate any help. Thank you!!!

The marriage date in church is 21 Jul 1864. The parish of marriage is listed as "Pratola" which would refer to the one and only parish church of Pratola Serra, which is Maria SS. Addolorata (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Chiesa+Maria+SS.+ma+Addolorata/@40.9868016,14.8510792,19z/data=!3m1!4b1!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0xb63329e352c02602!8m2!3d40.9868044!4d14.8516178). Although Italian towns often had multiple non-parish churches and chapels on top of their main parish church, the sacraments of baptism and marriage were virtually always done in the main parish church, so you can very well consider that your ancestors married in the church building linked above.

The processetti records of Avellino province are permanently lost, nothing you can do there! The listing of what was included in the processetti can be found in this marriage record, as you've pointed out. Since the death certificate of the groom's ex-wife is one of the items, we can confirm that the groom is indeed a widower.

Translation:

Sabato Giordano, age 48, born in Pratola Serra, profession laborer, resident in Pratola Serra, son of the late Carmine, profession laborer, resident in Pratola Serra during his life, and of Grazia Marano, resident with her son

Maria Di Rimini, age 21, born in Pratola Serra, resident in Pratola Serra, daughter of unknown parents (foundling)

1. Yes;
2. His dad was Carmine, deceased, and Grazia Marano. Her parents aren't listed;
3. No process records, it seems, but you have the banns (https://www.antenati.san.beniculturali.it/detail-registry/?s_id=395460&lang=en) on image nine. Unfortunate, since the marriage certificate lists a lot of attached documents;
4. Most likely Chiesa Maria SS. ma Addolorata.
