Marriage Boon

As a nation state, Italy has emerged only in 1871. Until then the country was politically divided into a large number of independant cities, provinces and islands. The currently available evidences point out to a dominant Etruscan, Greek and Roman cultural influence on today's Italians.

Marriage Boon

Post by Pontiusmaximus »

I have been spending a lot of time pouring over records from Borgetto and I came across a phenomenon that I wonder what the explanation could be. On 14 June of 1860, an inexplicable number of marriages occurred. In a relatively small town you'd expect to see two or three or so marriages recorded under a given date. On that date,
by my count there were 131 marriages recorded. My best guess would be that it had something to do with Italy's second war for independence. But I thought I'd throw it out there for any information - or ideas.
