Biography

Maria Concetta Leggio, daughter of Leoluca Leggio and Giuseppa Patti, is born 27 May 1913 in Corleone.

Based on a margin note on his baptismal record, Giacomo Riina, a known member of the Corleonesi Mafia, marries Maria Concetta Leggio on 30 March 1940 in the S. Rosalia church in Corleone.[1] It is not certain that this is the same Maria Concetta, but it seems likely.

Maria Concetta appears as a defendant, along with two of her brothers and four of her nephews, in the 1969 trial in Bari.[2]
