Biography

Of partial Italian descent, Sinibaldi Castro was a businessman who was "First Designate to the Presidency", the equivalent of Vice-President, during the presidency of Justo Rufino Barrios.

When Barrios was killed on April 2, 1885, in El Salvador, Sinibaldi Castro became acting president. However, given that Sinibaldi Castro had no political connections and was not in the military, he was pressured to resign within days of taking over.

His successor was General Manuel Lisandro Barillas, who served as acting president, and was eventually elected as Constitutional President.
