Leoluca Bagarella is an Italian criminal and member of the Sicilian Mafia. He is from the town of Corleone. Following Salvatore Riina’s arrest in early 1993, Bagarella became the head of the strategist strategy faction, opposing another faction commanded by the successor designate Bernardo Provenzano, creating a real rift in Cosa Nostra.
Leoluca Bagarella Wife: Who Is Vincenzina Marchese?
Bagarella married Vincenza Marchese in 1991. She later committed suicide after Giuseppe Marchese began collaborating with authorities.
Another version was that she was clinically depressed, after a series of miscarriages. She allegedly also was shocked by the killing of the 13-year-old Giuseppe Di Matteo in January 1996 in retaliation for the “betrayal” of his father Santo Di Matteo who had turned state witness after his arrest on June 4, 1993.
The body of little Giuseppe was dissolved in acid. Vincenza Marchese’s body has never been found. Bagarella’s own wife, Vincenza Marchese, was the sister of Giuseppe Marchese and the niece of Filippo Marchese, a notorious killer and high-ranking member of the Corleonesi.
