Biography

Don Gioachino Verro is a Corleone native resident, the son of Don Vincenzo Verro and Donna Francesca Paola Trapani, who married in 1815^[1]. Gioachino, born around 1823, is named after his paternal grandfather.

In 1834, Donna Francesca Paola Verro, a widow, age 45, lives with her children Gaetana, 17, Gioachino, 11 (b. 1823), and Maria Anna, 9, and with Donna Serafina Trapani, 61 (of unknown relation), on the strada di Listi.^[2]

Don Gioachino marries Donna Giuseppa L'Ala on 6 July 1850. His mother is still living.^[3]

Giuseppa and Gioachino have at least four children: Vincenzo (1853), Giuseppa (c. 1858), Bernardino (1866), and Maria (c. 1867).

Vincenzo is born 5 December 1853 and baptized the next day, named after his paternal grandfather. His godparents are Maestro Giovanni Ala and Antonia lo Bello, a married couple.^[4]

I estimate Giuseppa is born around 1858, twenty years before she marries.

Bernardo is born 3 July 1866 and baptized the next day. His godparents are Bernardo Mancuso and Giuseppe Sclafani, a married couple.^[5]

I estimate Maria is born around 1867, twenty years before she marries.

Giuseppa marries Marino Vincenzo Paolo Guarino, from Napoli, on 28 February 1878. Her mother, Giuseppa, has died by this time.^[6]

Maria marries Giuseppe Trapani on 6 July 1887. Third degree consanguinity is detected, and a dispensation obtained from Monreale on 8 June 1887. Her father has died by this time.^[7]

In 1914, Bernardo is the first socialist mayor of Corleone. He is killed by the Mafia (of which he is a member) the following year.
