In 1930, Grazia Maria Alessi, recently widowed mother of Chuckie Nicoletti (Chuckie had killed his dad Filippo Nicoletti in defense of his mother the prior year; both parents were from Santa Caterina Villarmosa, near Vallelunga), remarried Paul Terzo in Chicago. The only match for this name was Pasquale "Paul" Terzo, a brother of Peter Terzo. Pasquale had married an Aida Puzzo from Pietraperzia in 1911 (the mother of the Virruso brothers, also from Pietraperzia, was named Lucia Puzzo, and Aida had a sister named Lucia in Chicago, so these Puzzos were likely all relatives), but I believe that she died, given that in 1930 their three children were living in Humboldt Park as boarders of a Giovanni Nicolosi from Monreale (interestingly, his occupation at this time was listed as "would not tell"). The 1930 census shows Grazia Maria's husband as named "Sam Terzo", but no one that I found matches this name and thus it was presumably an alias of Pasquale/Paul. It's unclear what wound up happening to him, though Antiliar has stated that he was convicted of extortion and subsequently deported back to Italy (I wasn't able to find anything to confirm this, though it could be a spelling error with the surname). Villain, on the other hand, had claimed on several older posts that "Paul Terzo" was affiliated with the "Capone gang".
Either way, by 1950, Grazia Maria was living in Humboldt Park with Joseph Terzo, who she married in Hot Springs, AR, the next year. He was Giuseppe Terzo, another brother of Pietro and Pasquale (there were a bunch of these Terzos around). In 1940, Joseph Terzo's naturalization was witnessed by Frank Ingo, likely the same one discussed above who was Mike Glitta's brother-in-law.
In 1911, Ninfa Terzo, a sister of the above Terzos, was married at San Filippo Benizi Parish to Bernardo "Ben" Ingo, of Lucca Sicula -- he was another brother of Giuseppe and Domenico Ingo discussed above, both of whom would be slain in mafia skirmishes over the coming years. One of the witnesses to their marriage was a Loretto BonGiovanni, also from Vallelunga. Given the connections to the Ingo/LoCascio family, he may have been related to the Carlo BonGiovanni noted below (who I had speculated may have been from Ficarazzi at that time, but was unable to find a record for him).
Another brother, Vincenzo "Vincent" Terzo married a Cira "Sarah" Ficarrotta from Marineo. Possible that she could have been a relative of John Fecarotta, though the latter's father Antonino Ficarrotta, and his parents, were from Palermo City.PolackTony wrote: ↑Fri Oct 07, 2022 4:02 pm About a week after the murder of Antonina LoCascio, a guy named Salvatore Russo was murdered at Huron and Green (likely Morici territory at that time); police believed that this murder was somehow linked to the Catalanotto/LoCascio saga. Russo’s death record stated that he was resident in Italy and the papers stated that he had only recently arrived in Chicago. The eldest LoCascio kid, Rosina LoCascio, was married to a Russo who was also from Chiusa Sclafani, so maybe there was a connection. Francesco Mezzatesta, of Ficarazzi, was later arrested for the Russo murder; he had himself survived a shooting in May of 1915 in Little Sicily (just before the Catalanotto murder). Russo was found with letters from a Carlo BonGiovanni on him at the time of his death; BonGiovanni was arrested with a number of other “Black Handers”, though apparently not charged with any crimes in relation to the Russo murder. The papers stated that BonGiovanni’s address was in Milwaukee, though I couldn’t confirm him either there or in Chicago. There were, however, BonGiovannis in Little Sicily from Ficarazzi, which could be relevant given Mezzatesta’s alleged involvement. I believe those were the same BonGiovannis who in later years were named as members of a Little Sicily neighborhood “committee” along with interesting surnames such as Merlo, Nuccio, Brancato, DeJohn, Romano, and Giovenco.
For one last connection, Peter Terzo, grandson of Pietro Terzo, married Christine Conti, daughter of mobbed-up longtime Elmwood Park mayor and IL State Representative Elmer Conti. Conti, who also controlled the Leyden Savings and Loan Association in the 1960s, was targeted in a bombing attempt in 1966, which blew a hole in his driveway. The papers claimed that this was a "syndicate" attack instigated by rumors that Conti had been giving info to the Feds (all of which Conti denied, of course).
