ALFANO marriage translation

Post by Sam.Alfano »

I would appreciate some help with this wedding document for Salvator Alfano & Geronima Gaglio. I'm looking for the parents names. I see Augustino (Alfano I presume), Antonio Giuliano, and ??? Giacopelli. Any help will be much appreciated :)

You're very welcome, Sam. If you look at the document, you will see Sac. as an abbreviation before the first name of the priest, which was Francesco in Italian. The Sac. is an abbreviation for the Italian word sacerdote (priest).
