Looking for clarification on the surname on this record and possible translation.

Familysearch indexed this record as the surname of groom being Canella. I would like clarification if it could actually be Cumella?

Here's the index: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:WMRW-233Z

And here's the actual record:

https://antenati.cultura.gov.it/ark:/12 ... 30/wXnrNWv

Reason I'm asking is my great grandfather was born in Rome but most of my dna ties to his line are from Agrigento and a very strong connection to the Cumella family, specifically Raimondo Cumella and Maria Palillo who were born in the late 1700s. Since I have multiple dna matches from different children and grandchildren of theirs I'm to assume it means they must be my ancestors.

If the surname is Cumella I would like a full translation of the record please.

Ty both. That's too bad. It looks like Cumella to me on the side of the page but in the record it doesn't so thats why I asked.
