Hi Everyone:
I am still researching my husbands ancestors. The records for Spezzano Grande in Cosenza are now available on the Antenanti site.
I have on my tree my husbands great uncle, Luigi Guido (parents Pietro Guido and Rachela Granata) married to a Maria Astorino. They were married November 9, 1901.I found the record, however, her first name is not shown as Maria, and she was not born in Spezzano Grande. I would like someone to help me decipher the bride's first name and the name of the town she was born. I am translating her first name as Acherefina, but I don't think this is correct. I would like to find her birth record. The town listed on the record looks like Calorleto, but I cannot find the town anywhere.
Here is the link to the record:

Thank you in advance for any assistance.

It is hoped that the research I am doing helps to discover, preserve and celebrate my family history.

The name is Acherepita or Acherupita (written differently on the edge and in the record).
It is usually written as Achiropita, and is typical of some villages in Calabria.

The town is Caloveto
