Biography

Gaspare Benanti, son of Salvatore Benanti and Antonina lo Sciuso, from Misilmeri and a resident of Corleone for a number of years, marries Anna lo Curto, daughter of the late Maestro Rosolino lo Curto and Antonina Ciavarello, and widow of Bernardo Ciravolo, on 21 March 1870.^[1]

Gaspare and Anna have at least two children, Antonina (1870) and Nunzia (c. 1888).

Antonina is born and baptized on 25 December 1870 in Corleone. Her godparents are Giuseppe Coniglio and Filippa Benanti, a married couple.^[2]

Antonina marries Salvatore Marino on 3 September 1887 in Corleone.^[3]

Gaspare Benanti's emigration record has not yet been found. His wife and daughter, Nunzia, join him in New Orleans in 1893.^[4]

Gaspare's nephew, Agostino Intaglio, 24 (b. 1874), single, and Lucia lo Curto, 38 (b. 1860), a widow, travel together on the Tartar Prince, in October 1898, intending to join Gaspare in Bertrandville, Louisiana, a place in Plaquemines Parish.^[5]
