Per records from the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin on the Near Northside (the oldest Italian church in Chicago, founded 1881), Michele Maggio of Sambuca married Giovanna Giglio of Santo Stefano Quisquina in 1902. His parents were given as Calogero Maggio and Angela "Laona" [sic] and hers as Angelo Giglio and Domenica "Greccadiddio" [sic]. Their daughter Giovannina "Jennie" Maggio was born in 1911 and baptized at St Phillip Benizi Church (on Oak and Cambridge) in September; her godparents were Pietro Cotrona and Antonina Giamparra. So they initially seem to have lived in Little Sicily and then by 1920 were living in suburban West Hammond (renamed Calumet City in 1924), where Michele was a railroad worker.B. wrote: ↑Sat Mar 12, 2022 6:01 pm Great info Cavita.
I couldn't 100% verify all of the guys involved with the 1905 Raia murder, but it looked to me like they were all from Sambuca from what I could find. The Giorgio Maggio mentioned by Tony is most likely the same one in the Raia murder, so his connection to Saccos definitely indicates a connection to the Rockford Maggio.
Still can't verify Phil Bacino's wife's family -- they were living in Calumet City by the 1920s and her father was Michele Maggio and mother was Giovanna Giglio. JD's recent post about Salvatore Giglia being an Aragonese NE member shows the Giglio/Giglia name shows up in that area. Michele Maggio died sometime between 1920 and 1930. Best candidates I found were either from Sambuca or Marsala but didn't find any smoking gun so can't confirm.
I found the 1905 murder victim Biagio Raia was also married to a Merlo, so one of his alleged killers Pietro Merlo may have been a marital relative along with Calogero Montalbano being a Raia relative. Most of the guys arrested appear to have been in their late 30s or 40s, while Michael Armato was in his early 20s. Armato appears to be from Sambuca like the others.
You'd be interested in Dominic Candeloro's description of settlement patterns in Little sicily:
Shouldn't be surprising that in its history Chicago has had two bosses born in Sambuca (Merlo and Monteleone).Perhaps Chicago’s most colorful Italian sector was on the city’s near North Side. Known alternately as “Little Sicily” and “Little Hell” and featuring “Death Corner,” this neighborhood was home to some 20,000 native-born Italians and Italian Americans by 1920. Most originated from the small towns surrounding Palermo, but there were also important contingents from Catania, Vizzini, and Sambuca-Zabat in eastern Sicily. According to Dr. Bruce Zummo, on Larabee Street were many inhabitants from Altavilla Milicia. Those on Cambridge Avenue came from Chiusa, and Caccamo. On Milton Avenue (now Cleveland Avenue) were the immigrants from Sambuca-Zabat. On Townsend Street resided families from Bagheria and Burgio. On North Cambridge Avenue, Hobbie Street, and Elm Street, the residents originated from the town of Corleone. The mix also included a sprinkling of so called “Gai-gai” families– from Mezzoiuso–Albanian Sicilians from the Piana dei Greci. The Dillingham Commission reported only one northern Italian family, compared to 155 south Italian families, in the Gault Court block of this area.
