The Giovanni Giglio Family of Scarcelli

Pasquale Giglio[1]

Giuseppe Cavaliere[2]

Giovanni Giglio[3] (born in 1840 and died in 1911) married Luisa Cavaliere around 1860.  They were both born in and lived in Scarcelli, a frazione of Fuscaldo (CS).  The Giglio family lived in the so-called “case rose or red houses” and their children were:

Raffaela[4] Rosina[5] Michele Pasquale[6] Giuseppe Angelo[7] Santo
 

 


[1] Pasquale was the father of Giovanni Giglio and born ca. 1820.

[2] Giuseppe was the father of Luisa Cavaliere and born ca 1820.

[3] Giovanni had at least two brothers.  Their names were Giacomo and Luigi.  Luigi lived in the Sant’Antonio area of Scarcelli.

[4] b. ca. 1861/ d. 1939; married Battista Scofano; their children were Pasqualina, Concetta and Filomena.  Filomena married Salvatore Siciliano and their children were Giovanni of Brazil whom I met in Calabria with his son and grandson in 1968 along with my dad and son, John.  Giovanni had a brother Francesco (I believe married Carmelo Santoro’s sister) and Gennio from Cariglio.

[5] Rosina (b. 1862/ d. 2 July 1939) married Pasquale D’Elia, my paternal grandfather in 1883.  Daniela Louise (b. 20 September 1993), my youngest daughter, was named after Rosina’s mother, Luisa Cavaliere.

[6] Married sister of Domenico Plastina.

[7] Angelo married Anna Maria Lanzilotta from the Marina di Fuscaldo.  I met her in 1968 with my parents and son, John.  Anna was an older sister of Giuseppina, my dad’s brother Antonio’s wife.
