Biography

Filippo Colletto is a Corleone native resident, the son of Mariano Colletto and Antonina Glaviano, who married in 1793. He is named after his paternal grandfather.

FIlippo marries Paola Ferraro, daughter of the living Giorgio Ferraro and the late Maria Streva, on 8 October 1838. His father has died by this time. Consanguinity is detected and a dispensation obtained for this marriage.^[1]

Filippo and Paola have at least three children: Calogera (1842), Mariano (1854), named after his paternal grandfather, and Vincenza (c. 1859).

Calogera Colletto is born and baptized 23 August 1842 in Corleone. Her godparents are Vincenzo di Palermo and Oliva Ligotino, a married couple.^[2]

Mariano is born and baptized 17 June 1854. His godparents are Rosario Oliveri and Serafina Palermo, a married couple.^[3]

Calogera marries Giuseppe Vutera on 11 October 1868 in Corleone. This record calls her late mother "Liboria."^[4]

Mariano marries Caterina Castro on 15 January 1898. His parents have died by this time.^[5]

John Alcorn calls Mariano a capomafia (a captain in the Mafia), campiere (a field guard), famous livestock rustler, and a dangerous and turbulent member of the Fasci Siciliani, a labor union.^[6]

Mariano is killed 15 February 1904.^[7]
