Translation Help: DEMASI/ AGOSTINO Marriage Record

Post by Stephor0415 »

Ciao,

I would be very grateful for some help in translating this marriage record for Fortunato DEMASI and Elisabetta AGOSTINO. It is unfortunately a bit more challenging with the water/ ink damage.

In particular, I'm hoping to get more insight on Fortunato's parents and his birth town, as I have hit a road block.

Grazie!
Stephanie

Fortunato Francesco Demasi was 34 and a pecoraro (may be some form of pecoraio/sheppard?) which his parents were also. He and his mother, Gin??? Monteleone are now living in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gioiosa_Ionica but were from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fabrizia which is where Fortunato was born and where his now deceased father, Giuseppe lived (and likely died).
Elisabetta Agostino was 23 and a farmer was born and lived in Gioiosa (as did her parents). Her father, Vincenzo, was a laborer and her mother ????Lopresti? was a farmer.
