interpretation of surname

Post by ottolino »

buonasera a tutti, I am indexing a few documents and came across this one:
https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12 ... 38/5d2lBy3

I am interested in the surname of the husband of the deceased.
His name is Giuseppe but can't work out what the surname should be... I'd naturally say "Casella" but that first L is not an L at all, it's too short.

All other combinations of letters sound weird to me... any suggestions are welcome! :)
thank you for your time

... on second thought, it could be CASULA, this seems to be a rare surname, but there are people in the Taranto area with that surname even today:

Any further thoughts, you know where to find me :)

I read CASULA, a surname found in San Giorgio Ionico.

Hello,
I have a book with a section dedicated to surnames found in the region (Camino, Friul). I can't find any translation about these surnames.

Could you help me please ? Info in the joined files.
Thanks !
