1830 Death Record & 1813 Marriage Rec Translation

[tikibar22]

Would some one kindly tell me the last name of Giovanna Celli's husbands last name?

Giovanna Celli widow of Antonio _______?

Also, would some one kindly translate second record which I believe to be Giovanna Celli & Antonio ___ daughter, Lucia's Marriage Record to Vito Di Sabato. I am having a very hard time understanding it....

Thanks All

I'd say Antonio's surname is Picardi.

As to Lucia's marriage:
Date dec 16, 1813
groom: Vito di Sabbato, 39 (?) years old, "fucilare", living in this town
son of Vincenzo, 72 yo, "fucilare" too, living in Acerno, and of Rosa Pea (or Rea), 68 yo

bride: Lucia Picardi, 30 yo, "merciara" (?), widow of Giovanni Padrone, who died on Jan 28, 1812, daughter of Antonio Picardi, 60 yo, "merciaro", and Giovanna Cella, 50 yo, both living in this town.

I'm wondering what a "fucilare" is...it might be a rifle maker, or a soldier.
"Merciaio" is a seller of things needed for sewing and tailoring.

Thanks for the help Pippo!
I have tried to search fucilare but I am not coming up with much but the word translates to "shoot". I am guessing your line of thinking with rifle maker may be close. I am wondering if anyone else could chime in on what a "fucilare" is?

Slightly off-beat, but may help:

One of my ancestors, referred to as a “Maestro” was noted as “fucilaro” in his death record (No 183): http://www.antenati.san.beniculturali.i ... ewsIndex=0

In previous records, his occupation was noted as “Armiere” (Armourer), as was his son.
(Armourer: a maker, supplier, or repairer of weapons or armour.
An official in charge of the arms of a warship or regiment.)

At the time I was looking at this occupation I tended towards “gunsmith” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gunsmith but, in my case, I'm still not so sure. An armourer is different.
