Help with marriage document

Post by jml1991 »

I am having great difficulty deciphering the attached marriage document (record #393, on the lower part of the attached) from 1679 (I think), between Stefano Salazara (spelling?) and Filippa (last name?), from Pietraperzia, Sicily. It looks like Stefano's father is Giovanni Battista. If anyone has anything they can add to that, I would be most appreciative! Thank you.

I think the groom's father's name is Battista and the mother is Giovanna.

The bride's mother could be Isabella Giannotto. I can't make out her father's name.

I think the banns of marriage are from the month of June. The year is 1679.

This is not the act of marriage, but the record of marriage banns.
"Si pretende contrahere matrimonio fra mastro Stefano Salazaro figlio legittimo e naturale di Battista e Giovanna Salazaro con Filippa figlia legittima e naturale del quondam Blase e di Isabella Giarrizzo(*)"
