He was married, his wife's name was Christina, she was born in Italy, he came to the U.S., originally, into NY on 27 May 1906, on the ship Weimar. He made a trip back to Italy, returning on 23rd Oct 1926, on the ship Conte Rosso, Christina did not accompany him. As he had already been in the U.S., and served in WWI, he must have taken Christina back to Italy on this trip as she is listed as his closest relative in the old country, it does not look like she returned to the U.S.
