Biography

Sebastiano Ciravolo is born and baptized 1 January 1788 in Corleone, named after his maternal grandfather. He is the son of Andrea Ciraulo and Giacinta Carrabba. His godparents are Giuseppe Ciraulo, who is unmarried, and Filippa Carrabba, widow of Sebastiano.^[1]

Sebastiano marries Gaetana Vitrano, daughter of Ignacio Vitrano and Bernarda Inquartana, on 24 September 1815.^[2]

In 1833, Sebastiano's younger brother Nicolo', known as "Puntillo," is part of a predatory band with Giuseppe "Rapanzino" Castro. There is a bounty on both their heads by 1834, when two of their associates, the Palumbo brothers, are either guillotined or escape the country.

Sebastiano and Gaetana have at least three children: Lucia (c. 1820), Liboria (c. 1824), and Giuseppe (c. 1836).

Sebastiano dies, reportedly at age 40 (he is actually 50) on 17 April 1839. He is the widower of Gaetana.^[3]

Lucia marries Tommaso Catania on 22 November 1840.^[4]

Liboria marries at least twice, first to Leoluca Manicchia, on 3 February 1846.^[5]

Liboria remarries to Rocco Rao, who is also a widower, on 15 February 1854.^[6]
