Madonna parents: Silvio Ciccone, Madonna Louise Ciccone

Madonna Louise Ciccone was born on August 16, 1958, in Bay City, Michigan, to Silvio Anthony “Tony” Ciccone and Madonna Louise (née Fortin), both Catholics. Her mother was French-Canadian and her father was of Italian immigrants from Pacentro.

With Chrysler and General Motors, Tony Ciccone worked as an engineer and designer. Madonna was referred to as “Little Nonnie” by her relatives since she shared the same name as her mother.

On December 1, 1963, her mother passed away from breast cancer. Veronica became her confirmation name after she was confirmed in the Catholic Church in 1966.

Her father enrolled her in classical piano lessons, but she eventually persuaded him to let her enrol in dance classes. Her ballet instructor, Christopher Flynn, convinced her to go into dancing professionally. Afterwards, Madonna attended Rochester Adams High School, where she earned straight A’s and joined the cheering squad.
