Josep Nicolau was born in a humble family, halfway between Montu\u00efri and Lloret. According to the researcher Francesc Canuto in his study on the Nicolau \u00abCalussa\u00bb family (19th-20th Centuries), Joan Nicolau Munar Calussa, his father, was born in Son Forn\u00e9s (Montu\u00efri). After some years he got married to Aina Balaguer, from Lloret. In 1901 four brothers and two sisters registered along with them at their home: Rafel, Miquel, Toni, Joan, Rafela and Maria.<\/p>\n

It is the birth date of Josep Nicolau i Balaguer and Pere Nicolau Balaguer, Calussa. Both are born at 3:00am in Main Street number 22. 22. They are legitimate sons of Joan Nicolau Munar and Ant\u00f2nia Anna Balaguer Picornell.<\/p>\n

Tragedy hits the Nicolau Balaguer family. Pere, Josep\u2019s twin brother, dies at the age of 7. We must consider that the mortality rate was considerably high at the time. This is an event which scars Josep Nicolau\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

Lloret de Vistalegre becomes an independent village after officially splitting from Sineu. Although there were several attempts to prevent it, the citizens of Lloret see how their yearning for local self-government finally becomes a reality.<\/p>\n
