Biography

Giuseppe Battaglia is born 26 October 1846 in Corleone and baptized two days later. He is the son of Domenico Battaglia and Providenza Bologna ("Bulogna"). His father, a trafficante, age 24 (b. 1822), reports his birth in Domenico and Providenza's home on via del Carmine in Corleone. His mother, Providenza, is 28 (b. 1818).[1] His godparents are Antonino and Francesca Bulogna, mother and unmarried son.[2]

Giuseppe, who is a trafficante (merchant) by profession at this time, marries Rosa di Miceli on 27 April 1870. His father has died by this time.[3]

Maria Rosa and Giuseppe have at least eleven children: two daughters named Providenza (1871 and 1872), Orsola (1876), Maria Teresa (1879), Giovanna (1882), Maria Domenica (1884), twins Marianna and Francesca (1889), Maria Assunta (1892), Emmanuele (1895), and Giuseppa (1898).

The first daughter named Providenza is born 26 January 1871 and baptized two days later, named after her paternal grandmother. Her godparents are Antonino di Miceli and Rosalia Crapa.[4] She dies on 2 February, at one week of age.[5]

A second daughter named Providenza is born 1 March 1872 in Corleone and baptized on 4 March. Her godparents are Vincenzo Merendino and Francesca Colletti, a married couple.[6]

Orsola is born 8 November 1876 in Corleone and baptized the next day. Her godparents are Giuseppe di Miceli and Giuseppa Rao, a married couple.[7]

Maria Teresa is born on 1 October 1879 in Corleone and baptized two days later. Her godparents are Antonino Streva and Lucia Jovino, who are both unmarried.[8] Antonino marries Lucia’s sister, Giovanna, later that month.

Giovanna is born 16 February 1882 and baptized the next day in Corleone. Her godparents are Leonardo Provenzano and Providenza Battaglia, the unmarried daughter of Giuseppe.[9]

Maria Domenica is born and baptized on 10 August 1884 in Corleone. Her godparents are Paolo Piazza and Marianna Berlingeri, a married couple.[10]

Twins Francesca and Marianna are born 17 October 1889 and baptized two days later. Francesca's godfather is Giuseppe lo Bue, an unmarried man from Prizzi.[11] Marianna's godfather is Salvatore Sclafani.[12]

By 1890, Giuseppe is identified as the president of the Fratuzzi, the Mafia in Corleone.[13][14]

Francesca dies on 9 November 1890.[15]

Maria Assunta is born in August 1892 to Giuseppe Battaglia, trafficante (merchant), and Maria Rosa Di Miceli. They live at via Piazza, 33. The midwife reports her birth as Giuseppe is out of town.[16] She is baptized 3 September.[17] Maria Assunta is baptized 3 September 1892 in Corleone. Her godparents are Giovanni Cammarata and Lucia Jovino, a married couple.[18] Like her father, her godfather and his brother-in-law, Michelangelo Gennaro, are active in the Fratuzzi, the Mafia in Corleone.

Providenza marries Giuseppe di Palermo on 23 November 1892 in Corleone.[19]

John Alcorn names seven mafiosi, including the president of the Fratuzzi, among the officers and influential members of the Fasci Siciliani in 1893.[20]

Emanuele is born in October 1895 in Corleone, the son of Giuseppe Battaglia, trafficante (merchant), and Maria Rosa Di Miceli. They live at via Piazza, 33.[21] He is baptized 6 June 1896 in Corleone. His godfather is Don Vito Cascioferro, of Palermo.[22]

Giuseppa is born 6 May 1898.[23]

Giovanna marries Antonino Rizzo on 28 October 1908 in Corleone. The witnesses are Dr. Vincenzo Piazza and Dr. Leoluca di Palermo.[24]

Domenica dies 26 March 1909 at age 24. She is unmarried.[25]

The state names named Giuseppe Battaglia fu Domenico (cl. 1846), presidente dell’associazione “fratuzzi”, among associates including Angelo Gagliano.[26]

A margin note on his baptismal record says Emmanuele marries on 30 April 1939 to Maria Antonina Guarino-Triolo.[22]
