Biography

Cosimo Rigoglioso (“Rigugliuso”) is a Corleone native resident, the son of Ciro Rigoglioso and Saveria d’Ira. Based on his reported age in 1834, Cosimo is born around 1770, making him nineteen (and his wife only nine years old) when they marry. I estimate Cosimo is born around 1760.

Cosimo marries Leoluchina Amorello, daughter of Biagio Amorello and Maria Ridulfo, on 8 November 1789. His father has died by this time.^[1] Leoluchina dies of cholera at the reported age of 46 in July 1837 after receiving last rites. Maestro Cosmo survives her.^[2]

Maestro Cosimo and Leoluchina have at least five children: Ciro (c. 1791), Biagio (c. 1799), Bernardo (c. 1809), Calogera (c. 1812), and Giuseppe (c. 1816).

Ciro marries Anna Maria Catania on 25 June 1815.^[3]

Biagio marries at least twice, first to Vincenza Pomara, on 30 August 1819.^[4] He remarries to Lucia Sciortino on 8 August 1830.^[5]

Calogera marries at least twice, first to Maestro Simone Gagliano, on 12 January 1834.^[6]

In 1834, Maestro Cosimo Rigoglioso , 64 (b. 1770), his wife Leoluchina, 54 (b. 1780), and their unmarried sons Bernardo, 25 (b. 1809), and Giuseppe, 18 (b. 1816) live in the San Nicolo' quarter, near their married children Ciro and Calogera.^[7] Cosimo and Leoluchina's reported ages make them nineteen and nine when they married.

Calogera remarries to Liborio Firrantello, who is also a widower, on 30 January 1841.^[8]

Death

Maestro Cosmo dies at the reported age of 67 in July 1837. Leoluchina passed two days before him. This record calls his mother Saveria Zito.^[9]
