Biography

Calogero Milone is a Corleone native resident, the son of Pasquale Milone and Giuseppa Stilla.

Bernardino Verro, a labor organizer native to Corleone, forms a republican-socialist circle on 7 Feb 1892 with Calogero Milone, Biagio Gennaro, Francesco Puccio, Liborio Termini, Angelo Provenzano, and Francesco Streva, called La Nuova Eta’.^[1] The circle is made up of men with close Mafia connections: Milone and Streva each have at least one mafioso brother. Puccio is the compare of Mariano Colletto, a capo in the local Mafia.

Calogero marries Giuseppa Grizzaffi on 18 October 1897.^[2]

Calogero and Giuseppa have at least two children, Calogera Giuseppa (1898) and Maria (1900).

Giuseppa Calogera is born 18 July 1898 and baptized two months later, on 19 September. Her godfather is Don Leoluca Palazzo, unmarried son of Don Carmelo.^[3]

Maria is known from the record of her death at a year and three months of age (b. Apr 1900) on 6 June 1901.^[4]
