Antonio Magliocco Jr.

New York, N.Y. Antonio Magliocco Jr., known to friends and family as Nino, died on October 25th, 2022 at the age of 69 after a four-year struggle with lung cancer. He leaves behind his wife of 42 years Carla Solomon; children Daniel (Anna Durrett), Katharine (Dan Reagan), and Will-together with three grandsons; brothers John (Pat Magliocco) and Joe (Kristen Creaven); and many cousins, nieces, and nephews. Nino graduated from Yale College and University of Pennsylvania Law School, and remained a dedicated and active alum of both schools. A co-owner of wine and spirits distributor Empire Merchants and Chatham Imports, Nino played an active role in managing and growing both entities throughout his career. Along with his two brothers, Nino was instrumental in restoring Michter's American Whiskey. Nino was a trustee of Central Synagogue and a former trustee of the Ethical Culture Fieldston School, where he was a parent for twenty-five consecutive years, and served on the board of directors of the Helix Center, whose mission is to facilitate the open exchange of ideas across disciplines in the advancing creative investigation. Along with his family, Nino was also a staunch supporter of NYU Langone Health for many decades. An avid follower of politics and sports-most especially his beloved New York Giants-and a lifelong learner in fields as diverse as classical music and Torah studies, Nino took special pleasure in bringing together family and friends over great food and wine. As much as we will miss his physical presence, in spirit he will always be with us, taking his customary seat at the head of the table.
