Biography

Biagia Cascio is born and baptized on 23 January 1821. She is the daughter of Gaspare Cascio and Anna Lucera. Biagia is named after her paternal grandmother. Her godparents are Bernardo and Maria Badulato, a married couple.

Biagia has two older sisters with the same name, born in 1814 and 1817, who are presumed to have died in infancy.

See the Cascio Name Study link above for a discussion of versions of the last name. For a table of Latin baptismal names and their Italian equivalents, and a discussion of naming conventions among the Corleonesi, see the Cascio Family Space.

In the 1811 and 1812 censuses, Biagia's family lives "under the arch," near the hospital. In 1834, Gaspare, 67 (b. 1767), Anna, 45 (b. 1789), and their children Paolo, 30 (b. 1804), Vincenzo, 24 (b. 1811), Biagia, 14 (b. 1821), and Francesca Paola, 11 (b. 1823), live in the same place.

Biagia marries Giovanni lo Bello on 9 October 1842. Gaspare has died by this time, and Anna is living.

Biagia's sister-in-law, Rosa Castro, married to Giuseppe lo Bello in 1838, is of unknown blood relation.

Biagia and Giovanni have at least seven children together, known from their baptismal records: two daughters named Lucia (1843 and 1846), Anna (1849), Antonino (1851), Gaetana (1854), Vincenza (1857), and Maria Concetta (1861).

Antonino, named after his paternal grandfather, dies on 17 August 1852 at nine months of age.

The first daughter named Lucia, after her paternal grandmother, dies at a year and a half of age.

Giovanni dies at age 56 (b. 1817) on 23 May 1873. Biagia survives him.

Gaetana marries Calogero Fogliano on 30 November 1878.

Maria Concetta marries Pietro Consenza on 31 July 1889.

Biagia dies at age 76 (b. 1821) on 14 August 1897, the widow of Giovanni.

Vincenza is 46 when she marries for the first time, to Castrenze Liggio, a widower, on 18 April 1904.
