This is what I read:
Groom: Antonino Furneri, son of deceased Carmelo, and Alfia Magha (?) from this town
Bride: Rosa Bua, daughter of deceased Placido, and living Giuseppa Greco, from "Albevillae"

I don't know where this record is from. However I'd say Sicily, so "Albevillae" might be Biancavilla, province of Catania, where the surname seems to exist.
Giuseppe "Pippo" Moccaldi

Their marriage record is from Santissimo Croce, Santa Maria di Licodia, Province of Catania, Sicily, italy.

Thank you so much, your translation can point me to where to search for Rosa's baptism/birth and her parent's marriage! It also lets me know the two fathers died before their marriage date. Thank you again

This is what I found about Albavilla/Biancavilla:

Albavilla is a coastal town in Sicily with historical buildings. It was founded by Albanian people who received the "Licentia Populandi" privilege from the presidents of the region of Sicily.

Biancavilla (Arbëreshë Albanian: Callìcari) is a town and comune in the Metropolitan City of Catania, Sicily, southern Italy. It is located between the towns of Adrano and S. Maria di Licodia, 32 kilometres (20 mi) northwest of Catania. The town was founded and historically inhabited by the Arbëreshë community.

The town was founded on 8 Jan 1488 by Albanian refugees. Led by Cesare Masi, they arrived in an area called Callicari and received the "Licentia Populandi" privilege from Santapau and Centelles, the presidents of the region of Sicily. Therefore, Albanian people established in that area and founded the town. The area was subsequently called Albavilla until in the year 1599, when the name became Biancavilla.
