Finding marriage records in Livorno, Italy, for 1870

Question

I've been trying to find a marriage record for two of my Italian ancestors. I know they married in Leghorn (also known as Livorno) in Italy in May 1870. I've had a look on the Italian state records website (antenati.cultura.gov.it) but the Livorno marriage records seem to stop after 1865. Does anyone know where to find marriage records for Livorno for 1870? Any advice would be greatly appreciated :)

Does Antenati indicate that digitization is complete, or still in progress?

Good point, thank you, I should've thought of that :). I just looked at the information for the Livorno records on the Antenati website and it said digitisation is 'expected' along with a red flag (other areas have orange or green flags), so I'm assuming that means it's not complete yet. I guess I'll just have to wait a bit longer to find this marriage record... :)

The pre-1866 records for Livorno are actually part of the holdings of the State Archive of Firenze. As you have now seen, no holdings of the State Archives of Livorno have been published yet. On their home page, you can download a list of towns and years for which they have archives: http://www.aslivorno.beniculturali.it/getFile.php?id=110

You can always try emailing the archive at as-li@cultura.gov.it to request a copy of the record you are looking for. The archive charges a fee for reproduction: http://www.aslivorno.beniculturali.it/index.php?it/96/servizio-di-fotoriproduzione-concessione-di-spazi-dellarchivio-per-eventi

Thanks for the advice :)

I might have to try the email since I can't seem to get onto the Livorno archives website... I've tried it on multiple devices, but all just say site can't be reached.

The site is only accessible during normal Italian operating hours, so you would need to try it earlier in the day if you are in the US.
