Can someone please help me read all the information on the groom as well as the section after the bride's mother's name - is there any family info in that paragraph. Also what comune was the bride living in. Thank you

That last sentence, is it typical in all wedding doc? If so, then they could provide information on grandparent's home town, at least on the paternal side, which is my interest.

Raffaele's father was dead. So it was his paternal grandfather who was supposed to consent to his marriage. But he too was dead, and it was not possible to provide a death certificate, because the place where he died was unknown.
