Newspapers in Ruoti, Italy

Would the town of Ruoti have had newspapers, obituaries, etc.published in the 1800's? How were births,marriages, and deaths recorded?
Thanks,
Marie

When a person died (especially back then) they were buried in 24 hours by law. No time for obituaries. The notice of death was posted on walls and boards all over town within hours. If the person was noble or of some importance in the town there MAY be some kind of story in whatever newspaper covered that are. Usually not.
