the letter indicates two communes Villanova del Battista (VdB) and Ariano. Further along when mentioning the bridge & groom, it reads groom was born & living in 'questo commune' and for the bride, 'in the same town.' Is the comune being referred to VdB or Ariano?

Hi Donna
My understanding is that both Luigi and Maria were born and living in Villanova di Battista, but that Luigi was found in the area of Ariano and was incarcerated there for a crime he had committed against Maria (I gather he had violated her, to put it simply). The town official from Villanova was asking the official in Ariano to marry them. The word impalmare means to take as a wife a lady, or to recognize her as the promised spouse. The rest of that section for me would translate to "to be independent of the crime and, at the same time, have his freedom."

I think the word you can't decipher in the second paragraph you give above is the word insiemamente. I can't find this word or a specific English translation for it. I keep seeing the word insieme in it though, which means together, which is why I translated it to mean "at the same time."

thanks so much erudita. i wondered if that might be the implication of that paragraph, given google translator.

A native Italian speaker may tell me otherwise, but personally I think we have the meaning of the record correct. I have never seen such a record in all my years of doing this kind of research. You certainly know how to find some unusual and very challenging records, Donna.

You got the meaning correct! Luigi was in jail in Ariano because he had violated Maria; it can be understood by the fact that he had to marry her to be acquitted of his crime and get free again. It was called a "matrimonio riparatore" ("shotgun wedding" according to Google Translator).
As to the word "insiememente" (in your document "insiemamente"), it is an old-fashioned way to say "insieme" (in this case "at the same time").

Thanks, Pippo. I'm glad Donna and I were on the right track and that I understood the document correctly. Also appreciate knowing about the old-fashioned word for insieme.

Thanks so much for the clarification, Pippo. So, would this be typical of the time that if the male married the female, he could be acquitted? In this situation, Maria was not quite 16 so would her guardian have to agree to this arrangement, also?

thanks,
donna

Yes, he could. And I think this remained until last century. Also, her "tutore" had to give his consent. This is written at bottom of first page, and top of the second: "al matrimonio sudetto procede la sposa con il consenso del tutore Antonio Venuti come dall'atto del Consiglio di Tutela fatto presso la Pretura del Mandamento di Flkumeri del giorno 16 luglio 1868"
