Biography

Francesca Riina is a Corleone native resident, the daughter of Salvatore Riina and Maria Liggio, who married in 1781. She is named after her paternal grandmother. I estimate she is born around 1787, twenty years before she marries.

marries Antoninio Governali, son of Michaelangelo Governali and Gaetana Labruzzo, on 22 November 1807.^[1] Antonino dies at the reported age of 50 in Corleone in May 1832. Francesca survives him.^[2]

Antonino and Francesca have at least four children: Michelangelo (c. 1809), Giuseppa (c. 1823), Rosario (c. 1825), and Maria (1828).

I estimate Michelangelo is born around 1809, within a couple years of his parents' marriage. He is named after his paternal grandfather.

I estimate Giuseppa is about twenty years old when she marries.

Rosario is born around 1825, based on his reported age at the birth of one of his children.

Giuseppa marries Mariano Mannina on 15 October 1843 in Corleone. Her parents have died.^[3]

Michelangelo marries Susanna Maniscalco on 28 July 1844. His parents have both died by this time.^[4]

Rosario marries Maria Rosa Cortimiglia on 8 October 1862.^[5]

Death

Francesca dies at the reported age of 34 on 18 July 1837 in Corleone.^[6]
