Biography

Girolamo Riina is a Corleone native resident, the son of Vincenzo Riina and Vincenza Saltaformaggio, who married in 1848. I estimate that Girolamo is born within a few years of his parents' marriage. He is named after his paternal grandfather.

Girolamo marries Lucia Paternostro, daughter of the late Salvatore Paternostro and Bernarda Leggio, on 22 October 1885. His mother has died by this time.^[1]

Girolamo and Lucia have at least three children: two daughters named Bernarda (1891 and 1895), and Salvatore (1893).

The first daughter named Bernarda is born 31 October 1891 and baptized the next day, named after her maternal grandmother. Her godparents are Biagio Pomilla and Rosa Spoto, who are both unmarried.^[2]

She dies at nine months old in July 1892.^[3]

Salvatore is born in June 1893 in his parents' home on via Lombardia, #45, in Corleone.^[4]

The second daughter named Bernarda is born 25 September 1895 in her parents' home at via Lombaria, #145, in Corleone. Girolamo, age 47, contadino, reports her birth. A margin note on her birth record indicates she marries Salvatore Sabella.^[5]

Salvatore marries Rosa Cutropia on 22 November 1914.^[6]

Bernarda marries Salvatore Sabella on 28 September 1924.^[7]
