Registration of the first marriage in Uta

“Yo Antiogu Tidi Curat de la villa de Utta edesposat y da beneditio a Jusepi Agoa y Juana Collu, fetas las tres solitas canonica monotiones conforme la lletra de esposas y non ya ningun legitim empediment y dat licenzia de la cohabitacio……”

In the far 4th 1598 the newly married couple Giuseppe Agoa and Giovanna Collu had the legitimate cohabitation licence. The ceremony was officiated by Antioco Tidi, curate of the time. The registration of the marriage (and also the first official act of civil status of Uta) is situated in the “QUINQUE LIBRORUM” of the “Iglesia Parroquial de Utta”.
The quotation of this wedding, that without doubt appears very interesting, has above all value as testimony of social life; the community of Uta already existed in the previous centuries and all the parish documents concerning the history of the town are visible in the “Curia Arcivescovile of Cagliari”.

Following are reported the first baptism and the first Episcopal visit:
