Mariano emigrated to the US from Lucca, Italy about 1820. He worked as a grocer in Richmond, and prospered as a merchant and shipper. He is reputed to have been the owner of two sailing vessels, which were captured and burned as blockade runners during the Civil War. (Edwards, "History of Richardson County, Nebraska".)

He married Mahala Hamblett in Henrico County on 9 July 1827, and they had at least 13 children. Among those who survived infancy were Francisco Paul (b. 1834), Mary Camilla (b. 1828), Maria Zita (b. 1829), Thomas (b. 1832), Pauline Josephine (b. 1837), Leazette (b. 1843), Ferdinand (b. 1846) and Mariano Jr. (b. 1850). Mariano, Jr. lied about his age and served about two years in Company "C" of the 46th Alabama Infantry during the Civil War.

Mariano died at age 66 at his home in Henrico County near Camp Winder, a large Confederate military base. His wife and seven of their children survived him. Sometime after his death, Mahala and Mariano Jr., and perhaps others, moved to Missouri, where Mahala died in 1871.

Mariano is buried in an unmarked grave, in the center of the photos. His infant children Ophelia, Mariana, Josephine, Rosalind and Virginia are buried near him. His grown daughters Maria Zita and Mary Camilla are buried elsewhere in the Cemetery.
