Dear Francesca,
You are not free to marry if your first marriage was a valid marriage. Since you are a Catholic, it then comes down to the question of whether your first marriage was in the Catholic Church or not.
Assuming it was, you need to get an annulment of that marriage prior to marrying again.
No priest or Deacon can marry you in any place until that is accomplished.
Also, no priest or deacon is allowed to only marry you civilly.
Fr. Jonathan
