The matrimonial processes ("processetti") in the diocesan archives of Naples

In 2024, we undertook steps to determine which documents were accessible and how to consult them. The matrimonial processes are interesting because they concern marriages celebrated in the diocese of Naples, of which Procida belongs to. The documents include parish certificates that were used to confirm the legitimacy of the marriage.

Find below the useful information and the procedure for accessing and consulting the diocesan archives:

The diocesan archives index these records and we digitalize them as they become available. Thus, you can find the references for marriage proceedings by searching our database. These references are essential for ordering documents from the diocesan archives.

  • You can then view these documents and scan them on site by following the instructions provided in the guide.
  • The association can also carry out this research for you. To do so, simply order this service on our website.
