Biography

Speculation

Tommaso may have been married first to Maria Z/Vappola/o who is listed as the mother of Nicola Vitangelo in 1812. No death for Maria located--however, no additional children located either.

Either this Tommaso remarried (none located in Casalvecchio) to Rosa between 1812 and 1814 or this is another Tommaso. Rosa's surname is variable: Giare, Gire', Giore', Gere'...

Until more research provides any clarity these Ricci children are clustered here as this Tommaso's.

Anna's birth lists Tommaso as a version of 'merciaio' - peddler. Giacinta's birth lists him as a 'Negoziante' -shopman. Maria Luisa's birth Tommaso as a version of 'merciaio' - peddler.

See Teresa Ricci-442 and Vincenzo Ricci-484, contemporaries of Tommaso whose parents were Nicola and Maria La Polla. Vincenzo was also listed as a 'merciaio' - peddler.

1820 Death

Tommaso's death record proves the connection. His age was given as 31. He was born in Grottaminardi and his parents were fu Nicola and fu Maria La Polla. His profession was listed as a version of 'merciaio'-peddler. Tommaso's wife Rosa Giare', age 29, survived him.^[1]
