Pre-1809 and post 1940ish Italian research questions

[philliphernan]

Hello,
did a search and sort of found a half answer but wanted to ask more specifically.

I am researching for my brother in Serino, Avellino, Campania, Italy. I don’t fully understand the hierarchy of the record keeping there. My questions are multiple-

For more current records than antenati has who do I write to? I understand there are form letters and my brother can request info for his direct ancestors? Is his at the Serino level or the Avellino level?

I read about Stato di Famiglia, how do I know if such a thing exist in that area or not? If it does how do we obtain it?

How do I know where to look for older than 1809 church records? It seems to be a relatively small area but I don’t know if there are multiple parishes I need to be contacting. Is there any database or do I start finding churches on google maps?

You can write to the Comune of Serino, but they won't do a genealogical research for you.
You have to know the birth year to request a certificate.
Have you looked only in Antenati, or in Family Search, too?
A Stato di Famiglia does not "exist" itself, it must be created via a research in the archive, and might be expensive.
Here are the present parishes in Serino:
