Record Description
This collection includes records from 1496 to 1906.

Also includes ten-year indexes (indici decennali), marriage banns (notificazioni o pubblicazioni), supplemental records (allegati), etc. Availability of records is largely dependent on time period and locality. Images for this collection were mistakenly made available to the general public who registered on this site.
