Could someone please give me a read for this record? I'm having a difficult time with the handwriting.
I believe this to be the marriage record of my ancestors Francesco Sciortino & Margarita Mirabella dated 19 Feb 1797.
It looks like the groom's mother's maiden name is Aguanno but I can't make out her given name (Margarita?) nor the name of the groom's father.
The bride's father appears to be Vito Mirabella but I cannot make out the bride's mother's name (maybe Vincenza Paula something?)
Were the parents living or deceased?
And are the Banns 2, 5 and 9 February?
Any help you can offer would be appreciated. This is another record that has eluded me for some time.

The bride's father appears to be q(uondam)=deceased Vito Mirabella but I cannot make out the bride's mother's name (maybe Vincenza Paula something?)viventis Paula = living Paola
