Biography

Calogero Maria Quaglino is born 29 August 1864 in Corleone and baptized the next day. Although this record is ambiguous about Calogero's gender (the verb "natum" is masculine, but "Calogeram" is in the feminine form), future records confirm he is a boy. Calogero is the son of Leoluca Quaglino and Maria Felicia Scherma. His godparents are Filippo Quaglino (possibly his grandfather) and Francisca Cascio, the wife of Leoluca Virgadamo.^[1]
