Malugani Family History, Part II

Carlo Malugani² (~1833-1890)

11. Carlo Malugani¹ was born in Primaluna around 1833 or 1834, which was then part of the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia within the Austrian Empire. Carlo married Marta Maroni¹ and had at least four children before Marta's death after giving birth to son Paolo Amadeo in 1873. Carlo remarried to Marianna Cerini of Giumaglio, Ticino, Switzerland, and reportedly had as many as six more children. Four of his surviving children emigrated to America from Switzerland in the early 1890s and son Antonio Paolo emigrated to Uruguay by 1913:

Carlo witnessed the end of about 300 years of Habsburg rule with a series of Three Italian Wars of Independence (1848-1849, 1859-1860, and 1866) to oust Austrian forces and unify Italy for the first time since the 6th Century.

Marta (Maroni) Malugani died in Primaluna on March 31, 1873, three days after giving birth to son Paolo Amadeo who died four days after his birth. Marta was about 39 years old.^{[Marci 174-176]}

Carlo reportedly went on to remarry to Marianna Cerini on March 29, 1877^{[Mar 1877]} and had one more daughter, however, there is a discrepancy between the date of their marriage and the birth of daughter Maria.

Carlo worked as a miller (mugnaio) and lived at Via ai Monti number 22 by 1886.^{[Dth 1886]}

Son Giuseppe migrated north to Giumaglio and married Aurelia Cerini⁹, Marianna's niece, in 1888 and started a family there. He emigrated to America in 1889 but returned to retrieve his family, sister Caterina, and perhaps brother Antonio, and all emigrated to America in August 1892. Son Paolo emigrated to Uruguay by 1910 where he worked as a marble worker (marmolero).

Carlo died on or about June 30, 1890, at his home at Via Ai Monti number 22.^{[Dth 1890]}

Marianna (Cerini) Malugani died two years later on October 15, 1892, in Primaluna. She was recorded to be 55 years old, but was more likely 52 years old. Her parents were listed as Pietro Cerini⁷ and Giovanna Cerini⁴.^{[Dth 1892]}

Virginia Malugani was born in Primaluna around 1840 or 1841 and married Carlo Invernizzi, a farmer (contadino) of Ballabio Superiore (Upper Ballabio), about 13 kilometers south of Primaluna at the upper end of Valsassina. They had six children, all born in Ballabio Superiore, but Virginia died the day after her 11-day-old son in 1882.^{[Dth 1882]} Only four daughters lived to adulthood:
