Thank you so much. I thought I saw the word contesse and that maybe she was contesting the marriage.

Translation: marriage record

Could someone please help me translate the last paragraph on this marriage record? It says something about the husbands mother. Her name was Lucia D'ariano. I can't make out the handwriting and my Italian isn't that good. Thank you all so very much.

Re: sappiere as an occupation

Here is the birth certificate. It's Luigi Russo on the bottom of the page. His father's occupation is what I need. Also his mothers name but it is unreadable to me.

sappiere as an occupation

It looks like the occupation is sappiero or something similar. Handwriting is hard to decipher. Any idea?
