It says "di questa terra", i.e., of this land. There was a line break in the middle of questa. You have the parents correct but they are reversed for the bride and groom. Both fathers are deceased.

thanks @carubia
i didn't see the line break
thanks for catching the typo here- i have it correct on tree
the surname Bushachino i understand is the former name of Bisacquino-- do you think i should research Bisacquino for records for her?

[carubia]

No. If someone has the surname that it is the name of a place, all that means is that they had an ancestor (or were believed to have an ancestor) from that place hundreds of years ago when people were first given surnames. However, in some towns (such as Licata) foundlings were given the name of the town, but I don't believe Bisacquino was one of them.
