Biography

Francesco Canali, servitore (servant), is a Corleone native resident, known from the records of two of his children. His baptismal and matrimonial records have not yet been found. I estimate Francesco is born around 1864, based on his self-reported age of 30 on his daughter Pietra's birth record.^[1]

Francesco is married to Ignazia Benanti. They have at least two children, Pietra (1894)^[2] and Filippo (1897).

Pietra dies at two years of age (1894) on 5 February 1897.^[3]

Filippo is born 3 April 1897 and baptized two days later. His godparents are Vincenzo Grasso and Vincenza Raia, a married couple.^[4]
