Biography

Domenica Colletto is born around 1796 in Corleone, the daughter of Calogero Colletto and Giuseppa, whose last name may be "Guarino" or "Colletto." In the supporting documentation of Domenica's marriage, her parents' last names are visible: "Colletto et Colletto." In 1832, Domenica is called Guarino.

In 1807, Domenica is eleven years old (b. 1796), according to the stato delle anime for that year. Her father has died, and she lives near the Cortile Pellegrino with her mother, Giuseppa, 35, and sisters and brothers: Giuseppa, 12, Antonino, 3, Vincenza, 5, Giovanni Maria, 7, and Ciro, 1.

Domenica marries Angelo Cascio (or Castro) on 3 February 1818. Their parents have all died by this time. This record calls Domenica's mother Giuseppa Colletto (Colletto et Colletto).

Domenica and Angelo have at least five children: Teodoro (1818), Vita (c. 1818), Maria Anna (1822), Calogero (1825), and Giuseppa (1829).

Teodoro is born and baptized 23 November 1818, named after his paternal grandfather. His godparents are Andrea and Maria Carrabba, a married couple.

Vita is born around 1818, based on her reported age at death.

Angelo dies, reportedly at age 30 (b. 1801---he is 44, based on his age in 1807) on 27 December 1831. Domenica survives him: she is called Bernarda Colletto in ths record of Angelo's death.

Calogero dies at age five (b. 1827) on 5 June 1832. The record of his death calls his mother Domenica Guarino.

Giuseppa dies at age two on 1 May 1833. This record calls her a boy, Giuseppe.

Five days after her sister Marianna dies at age ten (b. 1823), on 6 May 1833.

Domenica dies during the first recorded cholera outbreak in western Europe, a plague that swept Sicily and sparked a revolt against the Bourbons. Domenica dies at age 37 (b. 1800) on 23 July 1837. Her mother's last name is not given in this record.

Teodoro marries Lucia Rigoglioso, from Palermo, on 18 September 1859.
