Vincenzo was born in Bronte, Provincia di Catania, Sicily. His last name may have been DeLuca. Some family confusion (now) over the spelling. In Bronte: Luca, Lucca , Deluca etc. are common names and back then most Sicilians were illiterate which adds to the mix-ups.
Bronte is a small town up the mountain from the large costal city of Catania in Eastern Sicily.
Vincenzo was born around the year 1833 and was raised in Bronte.
He would marry Angelina Moraci/Manace, who was also from Bronte.
They would have one daughter that I know of:
*Nunziata, married name Gullo
Vincenzo lived to a ripe old age (90s) at a time in Sicily when most men didn't. My mother Nunziata who was his great-grand-daughter remembered him when she was a girl and commented on his heavy gold ear-rings (pirate style) that he wore. When Vincenzo was a young man, men in Sicily wore these gold ear-rings and by the time my mother was a girl (1920's) it was a rare sight to see any of these oldtimers still around.
