Birth, marriage, and death records are the most important civil registration records for Italian research. Most of these records retained the basic format introduced by Napoleon in the early 1800s. The registers are divided into separate volumes for each year. Records kept in the south used standardized forms. Many records in the north are handwritten, although they contain basically the same information. | Birth, marriage, and death records are the most important civil registration records for Italian research.

The records were almost always kept in Italian, except for records kept during the rule of foreign powers such as France and Austria. | ||
In the northern regions, many records are in French and German, and given names were often written in the "ruling" language even though the person’s name was Italian. For example, Giuseppina Bertaldo may have been recorded as Josephine Bertaldo. Some church records were transcribed into civil registration records. This transcription usually happened to meet documentation requirements for marriages [''processetti or allegati'']. Transcribed church records are in Latin, and each volume is usually indexed. | |||
=== Part II (''Parte II'') Registrations === | |||
In the northern regions, many records are in French and German, and given names were often written in the "ruling" language even though the person’s name was Italian. For example, Giuseppina Bertaldo may have been recorded as Josephine Bertaldo. | Beginning in the period from 1866 to 18671 a Part II (''Parte II'') section was added to Italian civil registration. These records are transcripts made by civil registration officials of documents issued by other Italian municipalities or by competent authorities abroad (embassies, consulates, churches, etc.) regarding expatriates or citizens residing on other municipalities. Deaths which occurred in hospitals are also recorded in this section. These records are recorded in the volume which was in use when the information was received. Therefore, it can contain civil registration information years after the event took place. For example, Maschio Gabriele was baptized in Budapest, Hungary, on 6 June 1881. This fact was later transmitted to authorities in his parent's home municipality of Vazzola in the province of Treviso, where his birth was recorded in the Part II section on 31 March 1899. The transcribed documents are then saved in the allegati folder related to the year of the registration. So, if a birth record from Budapest was created in 1890, recorded in Italy in 1895, the birth certificate coming from Budapest would then be saved in the 1895 birth allegati. | ||
