Here is my post on him from the big Philly history thread:
Indelicato "Al" Amedeo, whose father Giuseppe Amedeo was a member of the Catania family, moved to the US where he was inducted into the Philly family (I'd be curious if Joe Ida made him or if he was one of the guys made with Monte/Narducci in that big Bruno ceremony). He moved back to Sicily later but couldn't be introduced to his father as amico nostra until Calogero Sinatra returned, as Sinatra had been introduced to him as a member in Philadelphia and was the only one who could make the introduction. If we connect this to the info I posted up above, we can assume Al Amedeo was in attendance at Sinatra's "introduction" party held by Bruno.
Beyond that little story I'd never heard of Al Amedeo in reference to Philly. It's strange really because he only seems to have been in the US for a relatively short time, got made, then returned to Sicily where he was presumably associated with Sicilian mafia members. Joe Ida was living over there at the time and apparently sent Angelo Bruno a request to start his own decina overseas... I'd be curious if he was thinking of including Amedeo in that or if Amedeo transferred to a Sicilian family.
As said in that post, I believe his first name is Indelicato and last name Amedeo, so he would not be related to the Indelicatos. Diego Gambetta cites Calderone in his "Codes of the Underworld" book, saying that Amedeo moved to Philadelphia where he was inducted into the local family. I have never seen him on any lists as a member or associate of Philly, though, so not completely sure what his story is in the US.
-antonino calderone: the boss in 1962 giuseppe indelicato -> zu peppino indelicato
-peppino explained the rules «forbidden to do robberies» when they were going to make nino and others
-natale ercolano who was a robber shouted «stop, stop all, i don't agree and i will not join cosa nostra»
-peppino said «take it easy, be quiet, i explain to you later»
-amedeo indelicato is the son of zu peppino, giuseppe indelicato
-it seems amedeo indelicato is still alive age 90 years living in queens, ny
-amedeo indelicato aka amedeo albert indelicato and that's why he's aka «al»
-information can be seen in the book of pino arlacchi - english edition also has same info
