Biography

Antonino Lione is born and baptized 18 September 1807 in Corleone, named after his paternal grandfather. He is the son of Stefano Leone and Pietra Pomara, who married in 1778. His godparents are Angelo Paternostro and Gaetana Raffo, wife of Giuseppe.^[1]

Antonino marries Antonina Gagliano, daughter of Maestro Rosario Gagliano and Francesca Colajanni, on 9 August 1829.^[2] They have at least one child, Stefano, born in 1831, named after his paternal grandfather.^[3]

Antonino is named by police in connection with an armed, criminal gang headed by fellow Corleone native Giuseppe "Rapanzino" Castro. In April 1834, a bounty on the members is renewed.^[4]

That same year, five men escape from the prison in Corleone, according to a note dated two years later, on 1 August 1836. Three of them are members of Rapanzino's gang: Luciano Catania, Antonino Leone, and Salvatore Pomara. One of the other escapees is Antonino's maternal cousin, Vincenzo Lucera.^[4]

A new bounty is issued on the surviving members of Rapanzino's gang in March 1836, including Antonino.^[4]

Death of Antonino

Antonino, age 27, is killed on 10 May 1836. His wife and parents survive him.^[5]
