Biography

Marianna di Miceli is born around 1890-1 in Corleone, the daughter of Leoluca Di Miceli and Ninfa Milone.

She emigrates in 1909, according to the 1910 census.

Marianna marries Carmelo Nicolosi, who is also from Corleone, on 24 October 1909 in New York City.^[1]

In the 1910 census of Manhattan taken 29 April, Carmelo Nicolosi (“Nicholas”), 25 (b. 1885), heads a household at 168 E 106th St with his wife of six months (m. Nov 1909), Mary, 19 (b. 1891); his mother in law, Ninfa Milone (“Nina Maloney”), 50 (she is actually 60, b. 7 Nov 1849), a widow; his sister, Calogera Nicolosi, 19 (b. 1891), single (actually, widowed); nephew, illegible, whose age is a match for Giovanni, 5 (b. 1905), and cousin Annie Rigricomi?, 33 (b. 1877). Mary has not had any children and her mother has had four, of whom two are living. All members of the household were born in Italy and immigrated in 1905 except for Mary, who came in 1904, and Calogera, in 1909. Carmelo is a house plasterer. His sister is an operator in a waist (waistcoat?) factory. Carmelo’s neighbor, James Murphy, is also a house plasterer. Calogera's younger son, Vincenzo, who emigrated with them, does not appear in this census.^[2]

Carmelo is shot in the back and killed on 11 April 1921, within a few blocks of their home in East Harlem.^[3][4]
