Help Reading names of Bride, Father, and Mother
Hi,
I am having trouble discerning the last name of the bride, Carolina and her father, Michele(I believe?). Also, I cannot decipher the first or last name of Carolina's mother. If anyone who is familiar with Italian last names in Fagnano Castello, Cosenza, Calabria, Italy, could figure it out, I would really appreciate your expertise. Thanks!

Here is the 2nd page of the marriage document where the last name is written again near the bottom if it helps.

Check the banns and process records to see if they're more legible.

Mother is Teresa. Her surname is given in various records as Barbusco or Labruscio/a

Cousin Vinny, Thank you so much for your time and help! I found this website(https://italia.indettaglio.it/eng/cognomi/cognomi_calabria.html) where I can put different surnames in to see if they exist in Cosenza and all the names I tried didn't exist but when I put the name you came up with, Occhiuto, it came up with 58 people with this name in Cosenza. Now I know this is the right name! Also, thank you for your input on Teresa's 2 versions of her last name. I see that they are written so differently on various records and I was confused why this would be the case. I even researched further and found this discrepancy back on the the mother and father's marriage record and the mother's death record so it wasn't just a one time discrepancy. Maybe with her being illiterate different scribes just recorded the name they thought she was saying. I'll just write one as an alternate name. Thanks for you help!
Also, Thank you Dangkwei for the article. I will read it to learn more about how all these records can help me as I continue my Italian research.

Thank you for sharing the indettaglio site. I have already used it and saved it to my bookmarks bar. Another site you might like that I have found helpful is 'mappadeicognomi', which shows where all the names mostly are. (https://www.mappadeicognomi.it/en/index.php?sur=&s=Search)
