Biography

Antonino Riina is a Corleone native resident, the son of Giacomo (Gioachino) Riina and Maria Gennusa, who married in 1825.

According to his baptismal record, Antonino Riina is born and baptized on 29 October 1828, the son of Gioachino Riina and Maria di Miceli. His godparents are Giuseppe and Lucia di Carlo, brother and sister, both unmarried.^[1]

There is no couple by the names given for Antonino's parents in his baptismal record, living in Corleone. A thorough search of the matrimonial indices for the years 1722-49 has not found a match. The error is carried over onto both of his marriage records.

Gioachino Riina and Maria Gennusa are the only couple who are a close match for the names in Antonino's baptismal record. Antonino appears in a census record with his parents, confirming this relationship.

In the 1834 stato delle anime, Gioachino Riina, 44 (b. 1790), heads a household with his wife, Maria, 33 (b. 1801), and children Salvatore, 25 (b. 1809), Felice, 22 (b. 1812), Maria, 18 (b. 1816), Biagia, 16 (b. 1818), Francesco, 14 (b. 1820), Bernardo, 9 (b. 1825), Antonino, 6 (b. 1828), and Lucia, 4 (b. 1830), near the strada di Pennino.^[2]

Antonino marries at least twice, first to Salvatrice Paternostro, daughter of Francesco Paternostro and Lucia Napoli, on 15 February 1852.^[3]

He remarries to Calogera di Carlo, daughter of the late Francesco di Carlo and Lucia Riina, on 18 June 1854.^[4]

Antonino and Calogera have at least four children: Maria (c. 1855), Lucia (c. 1859), Joanna (c. 1870) and Francesca Paola (c. 1873).

Maria marries Giuseppe Sciacchitano on 27 November 1889.^[5]

Lucia marries Angelo Palazzo on 23 January 1882.^[6]

Joanna marries Giorgio Purpura on 5 February 1899.^[7]

Francesca Paola marries Biagio Riina, of unknown relation, on 22 June 1892.^[8]
