Biography

Trillo was born in Montevideo (Uruguay), son of Ramón Trillo Font, a Spanish merchant, born in the area of Cartagena, and Josefa de Alfao, born in Barcelona.[3] He began his military career, as a member of the Federal armies of Juan Manuel de Rosas, serving as Lieutenant in the Escuadrón de Dragones Orientales N.° 1 (Dragons Squadron No. 1).[4] He was wounded and then detained during a confrontation between Unitarians and Federals, returning after his release to the city of Montevideo.[5]

After being promoted to Colonel, Trillo served as Commander of the military detachments of the Uruguayan litoral (Río Negro and Uruguay River).[6] Later he was appointed as police chief of the department of the Salto, where he had a distinguished performance.[7]

In 1857, for an initiative of Colonel Trillo, was carried out in Salto, Uruguay, the Salto Company of River Steam Boat (in Spanish, Compañía Salteña de Navegación a Vapor), a shipping company of British capitals. The company commissioned for the construction of two steamboat, named Montevideo and Salto to the English shipyards T. & J. Thompson.[8]

In 1852, Dionisio Trillo was married in the parish of Nuestra Señora del Carmen to Carmen Aguiar, daughter of Juan Bernardo Aguiar y Fernandez and Francisca Tejedor Tena, belonging to a distinguished Uruguayan family of Galician and Catalan roots.[9] He and his wife were the parents of Enriqueta Trillo Aguiar, wife of Isabelino Canaveris,[10] a military man, who had had an active participation in the Uruguayan civil conflicts.
