Who is the father on this marriage certificate?

[Ginocchio]

Hi Everyone! Newbie to Italian genealogy checking in here.

I recently ordered the marriage certificate (UK) of my italian ancestor and have been trying to decipher his father's name.

Benittia? Beniltia?

I am not very familiar with Italian names, but aren't most -a names feminine? Perhaps it was written incorrectly?

This document is one of the only ones I have for my italian ancestor so any help would be much appreciated.

I would say that it is a phonetic spelling of Benizio.
