I was so excited to find the Marriage record of my husbands 4x's great grandfather! I'm really struggling to get through a translation. It's so difficult to follow a lineage unless you know the full names of the parents, the bride, the brides parents and their hometowns. I also can't figure out the parish of where the wedding takes place.
I would be so grateful if someone could help me - the two pages are attached. A few towns are popping out - Cassamassima....Locorotando.....
Thank you!
Christine

Re: Translate Marriage Record from 1813 Cassamasima
Dated Oct 23, 1813 at 11 P.M. in the town hall
The groom: Giuseppe Domenico Neglia of Locorotondo, age 30 and 11 months, a sarto (tailor) living in Locorotondo but present in Casamassima. He was the adult son of married couple, Giuseppe Giorgio Neglia of Locorotondo, where he died June 17, 1799, and Antonia Convertini, age 65, a weaver in Locorotondo, living with the son. She gave her consent through the public act formed by Notary Giuseppe Donato Convertini
The bride: Nicola Domenica Campagna, age 23 and 4 months, contadina (peasant/farmer) living in Casamassima on Strada Rosario, #47. She was of adult age and assisted by Marzio Campagna, her father, age 58, a peasant farmer of Casamassima. He was present to give his consent. Her mother, Anna Catelli, a peasant, died on Nov 3, 1811.
Their marriage publications were posted in both towns on the 26th of Sept at 2 P.M., a Sunday, and on the 3rd of Oct, also a Sunday, at 2 P.M. These resulted in no opposition to the marriage.
Witnesses-all from Casamassima
1. Luigi Abbatecola, age 38, a priest living there on Strada la Chiesa
2. Francesco Morgese, age 36, also a priest- Strada la Chiesa
3. Giacomo Martinetti, age 30, property owner-Strada la Chiesa
4. Domenico Gualtieri, age 61, property owner- Strada la Chiesa
The groom and the witnesses signed the document but the bride was illiterate and signed with the sign of the cross

Ohh thank you so very much!!! So very interesting! In general, do the marriages occur in the hometown of the bride but then the couple lives in the hometown of the groom?
Thank you!!!

Normally a marriage did take place in the bride's town. Where the newlyweds lived after their marriage though was dependent on a number of factors. The following is based on my own research and hopefully will answer your question:
In Northern Italy, where residents mainly supported themselves by sharecropping, newlyweds tended to reside with the groom’s family after marriage. This was also true in areas in Southern Italy and Sicily, where there was tenant farming, which was comparable to sharecropping. The new bride took up residence with the groom’s family which meant that she was now surrounded by his kinsmen-his parents, if they were alive, his married brothers, their families, and his unmarried siblings. In regions of southern Italy and Sicily where tenant farming wasn’t the norm, the newly married couple mainly formed a nuclear family. That is, they moved into their own house after marriage. Some acquired a house as part of the bride’s dowry, and this home would be located near the home of one of the sets of parents-be it her parents or his. In most instances, the newly married couple resided NEAR the bride’s family (her parents, if alive, or her siblings). They may, however, have also lived in the same home with one of the sets of parents at the outset of their married lives, if necessity required that they do so. If the family was too poor to buy the newly married couple a house, or could not afford to build one for them, then an existing house would be divided among family members. The nuclear families in Southern Italy and Sicily, however, were not self-sufficient. They would share material goods such as mules and tools needed to plow the fields or to work the land. The females would share household chores such as baking, washing, and child rearing, but the new bride would also have female relatives close by to assist her with female issues and childbirth.
