Biography

Giovanna Catalisano is the daughter of the late Don Raffaele Catalisano, civile (member of the borghese), and Donna Carmela Termini. She is born on 23 June 1844 at her parents' home in Canicatti^[1] and has been a resident of Agrigento, both in Agrigento province, for three years when she marries Don Francesco in Corleone.

Donna marries Don Francesco Streva, son of the late Paolo Streva and the living Laura Paternostro, on 23 September 1867.^[2]

Don Francesco and Donna Giovanna have at least three children: Giovanni (c. 1867), Paolo (1870), and Antonino (1880).

Giovanni is born out of wedlock on 17 August 1866 at his parents' home on via San Leonardo. His parents' marriage in September 1867 legitimizes his birth.^[3]

Paolo is born 25 September 1870 and baptized two days later, named after his paternal grandfather. His godparents are Don Antonino di Gregorio and procurator Don Luigi Sferlazzo from Palermo.^[4]

Antonino is born and baptized 24 February 1880. His godmother is Laura Streva, unmarried daughter of the same Francesco.^[5]

By the time Paolo is nineteen years old, he is reported to be stealing cattle in partnership with Giuseppe Morello.^[6]

In April 1893, Giovanni, agricoltore (gentleman farmer), age 26 (b. 1867), marries Dona Ana Clara Costa, a native of Pirai, Brazil, where they both reside.^[7]

At age 23 Paolo, a land owner (possidente), marries Anna Giovanna Streva, his first cousin, once removed. Their marriage is published in the civil record on 22 December 1893. One of the witnesses is Giuseppe Battaglia, president of the Fratuzzi around this time.^[8] Paolo and Anna Giovanna marry in the Church on 11 January 1894. Consanguinity is detected, and a dispensation received on 2 January 1894.^[9]

Francesco, possidente, dies at the age of 77 (b. 1818) in his home on via Bentivegna, 97 in December 1895. He is survived by his wife, Giovanna Catalisano. He is predeceased by his parents.^[10][11]
