Biography

Nicolò Platanella is born and baptized 21 May 1774, named after his paternal grandfather. He is the son of Liborio Platanella and Rosa Liveri.^[1] His godparents are Luca Graviano and Antonina Fratello, who is unmarried.^[2] Nicolo's surname is more commonly rendered as "Petranella," but not in this baptismal record.

Nicolò marries Emmanuela Vaccaro, daughter of Antonino Vaccaro and the late Maria Liggio, on 13 November 1808. His father has died by this time, and his mother is living.^[3]

Nicolò and Emmanuela have at least two children, Francesco (c. 1818) and Calogera (c. 1821).

Francesco is born around 1818, based on his reported age at death.

I estimate Calogera is born around 1821, twenty years before she marries.

Death of Nicolo'

Nicolò dies, reportedly at age 70 (he is 66) on 29 August 1840. His wife, Emmanuela, survives him.^[4]

Calogera marries Castrenze di Carlo on 17 February 1841.^[5]

Francesco has married by 1843, to Biagia Riina.

Francesco dies 11 April 1893 at age 75. His wife, Biagia, survives him.
