Hi,

It seems that the marriage took place in the Church of Santa Maria Vergina Assunta, parish of Trecate, Piemonte (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chiesa_di ... _(Trecate)). Following this, we could assume that Domenico Fasso comes from Castelnuovo Nigra, which was formed from the joining of two villages named Villa Castelnuovo and Sale Castelnuovo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castelnuovo_Nigra).

The three letters "viv." in front of the names of the fathers of both bride (Girolamo) and groom (Giovanni) seems to indicate that both are alive. Subsequently, th groom's paternal grandfather is indicated as also being named Domenico, while his maternal was named Bernardo. As for the bride, her paternal grandfather was named Adamo, while her maternal one seems to have been named Ulisse, though I'm really not sure about that last one. All four men have the letters "fu" written before their names, indicating that they were deceased at the time of the marriage.

I believe that the last name of the groom's mother, Domenica, is actually "Dagasso," which according to this website is quite common the regions of Piemonte and Lombardia: https://www.cognomix.it/mappe-dei-cogno ... ni/DAGASSO

The bride's origins are indeed a little tricky. Either it's indicated that she comes from the comune of Cologno Monzese in the Milan Metropolitan Area (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cologno_Monzese), but I think that it is more likely she is native from the comune of Codogno, which the Italian wikipedia article states as being part of the Milan Province until 1992 (https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codogno).

As for the bride's mother, Amalia, her last name appears to be Ferrazzolli, which is mainly present in Central Italy but seems to also be present in Lombardy and Piemont (https://www.cognomix.it/mappe-dei-cogno ... FERRAZZOLI). It could also be Perrazzolli, present in Trentino, Emilia-Romagna, and Tuscany: https://www.cognomix.it/mappe-dei-cogno ... PERAZZOLLI

Hope this helps!
