There were 5 documents presented:
1. the act of birth of the groom
2. the act of birth of the bride
3. the act of notification made in this town which resulted in no opposition to the marriage
4. the death act of Giovanni (not sure of surname), father of the groom
5. the death act of Stefano (not sure of surname), paternal grandfather of the groom
