Interested in a marriage between Salvatore Filippo Pecararo and Giovanna Randazzo, that URL cites it as a source, but can't make heads or tails of the handwriting.

Actually, I did reach out to servizi-demografici@comune.santostefanoquisquina.ag.it last month. I used the request form but haven't received any response, not even a confirmation that they received my email. Do you think it would be worth reaching out to that info email as well?
