Biography

I reviewed 1905 through 1910 and found just one match for the mother of Toto Riina: Cascio-10 13:21, 7 May 2016 (EDT)

Maria Concetta Rizzo is born 24 October 1908 in Corleone and baptized on 31 October. She is the daughter of Giuseppe Rizzo and Francesca Marino. Her godparents are Giuseppe Colletti and his sister Calogera, both unmarried.^[1]^[2]

Maria Concetta Zizzo marries Giovanni Riina, son of Salvatore, on 9 October 1927. Her parents' names do not appear in this index entry.^[3]

Maria Concetta and Giovanni are fourth cousins.

Giovanni and Maria Concetta have at least five children, including the oldest, Salvatore (1930). The youngest is born within a month of Giovanni's death, in 1943.

Salvatore is called "Toto," and will be one of the most brutal and infamous leaders of the mafia in Corleone.

Toto Riina is named in a court document reprinted in Leone Zingales' book about Toto's associate, Bernardo Provenzano. Salvatore is called the son of the late Giovanni Riina and Maria Concetta Rizzo, born in Corleone 16 November 1930, detained 15 December 1963.^[4]
