carmen,
when i call up that link, there is a thick line running thru the documents, so some of the bride's data is unreadable. i don't know if it is just a problem on my end. this is what i can read...

#52
dated 26 Dec 1884
Filippo Corso, age 33, sailor, born in Palermo, resdiding in Acquasanta son of Vito, residing in Acqusanta and of Maria Migliori, residing in Acquasanta
Giovanna Montana, [unreadable info - age, place born and residing, occupation,and father's name], -- although it looks like she is residing in Acqusanta -- and daughter of Concetta Gro??

Here is the missing information which is clearer in the Publication of Marriage Banns.
https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/T ... ,351642601

Giovanna Montana, age 38, housewife residing in Acquasanta; daughter of Calogero, age 66, and of Concetta Grova, housewife; both residents of Acquasanta.
Giovanna was born in Trapani...

Notations at the bottom...
From Trapani was received a copy of the death of Nicolo Garofalo, husband of Giovanna Montana, from the Civil office in Girgenti on 7 February of the current year.
It also looks like the official had the discharge papers of the groom, Filippo Corso, from military service, dated in Spezia on 1 Jauary 1882…

That would be the logical assumption, but you never know.
I would definitely start there :-)
