Seems like nobody's home over at Antenati. Very frustrating to see this important site just languish. My guess is that underpaid apathetic employees are just in no hurry to do anything.

See link for the 1889 index of births. Do you know the name of Donato's father? Looks like there are three Donato's born in Forenza that year:

If it helps, Sulmona was named "Solmona" until 1902. See page link:

And just for reference, I have copied the language from the comune's web site regarding issuing of certificates from the stato civile office. The requirement for identification is right there. CERTIFICAZIONI DI STATO CIVILE I Certificati riportano nome, cognome, data e luogo di nascita, data e luogo...

Yes, it is standard procedure for a comune to ask for your valid identification (driver's license, passport etc.) as a condition to release a vital record.

I wish you luck on your appointment. The only sure way to know what will ultimately be acceptable to the Boston official is to appear at your appointment, and present your documents. If you present the certificate of divorce (and the letter of "no appeal") and there is no comment from them...

Mine is G-L14. All of my ancestors are Italian.

Apologies for the delay in my reply. As I recall, the official wanted the entire judgment, with translation. Are you applying in Boston?

Calogero Puma, the son of Giuseppe Puma and Marianna Pantalone, had multiple marriages. In 1889, he married Carmela Scime at age 26. Record # 42: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-G1R1-4PK?i=1238&wc=MT3W-7MS%3A243914501%2C244171801&cc=1946817 19 years later, in 1908, he marri...

Although you make a reasonable point, if you are applying via an Italian consulate, they are pretty rigid when it comes to acceptable documentation. With respect to an Italian-born ancestor who never naturalized in the USA, the following is what you'll see on their web sites: In case your Italian bo...

If you post the name, DOB and address we can search on Ancestry.com as well.

Here's a link to Francesco's birth in 1822, showing Tommaso as father. The birth record is two pages, so make sure to check out image #175 as well. http://dl.antenati.san.beniculturali.it/v/Archivio+di+Stato+di+Salerno/Stato+civile+della+restaurazione/Postiglione/Nati/1822/4384/100423639_00174.jpg.h...

I see mother's last name as Manzione, and the first name of the father's father as Tommaso. The name Manzione is present in the town today.

From San Francisco consulate's website: COVID-19 NOTICE: Due to the current COVID-19 public health crisis and the recent restrictions enforced by local authorities (San Francisco Public Health Order on March 16, 2020 and Executive Order N-33-20 on March 19, 2020), the Consulate General of Italy in ...

Campobasso IS the province, the second word is the name of the comune...Gambatesa.
