Madonna Louise Ciccone was born on August 16, 1958, in Bay City, Michigan, to Catholic parents Madonna Louise and Silvio Anthony “Tony” Ciccone. Her father’s parents were Italian emigrants from Pacentro while her mother was of French-Canadian descent. Tony Ciccone, her father worked as an engineer designer for Chrysler and General Motors. Since Madonna had the same name as her mother, family members called her “Little Nonnie”. Her mother died of breast cancer on December 1, 1963. She later adopted Veronica as a confirmation name when getting confirmed into the Catholic Church in 1966.
Does Madonna have Italian or Latina blood?
Yes, Madonna’s father is Italian and her mother is French Canadian.
Madonna was raised in the Detroit suburbs of Pontiac and Avon Township which is now Rochester Hills, alongside her two older brothers, Anthony and Martin, and three younger siblings, Paula, Christopher, and Melanie. In 1966, Tony married the family’s housekeeper Joan Gustafson. They had two children, Jennifer and Mario. Madonna resented her father for getting remarried and began rebelling against him, which strained their relationship for many years afterward.
