Biography

Pietro was born December 19, 1903^[1] to Antonino Gattuso AKA Michele Gattuso and Sebastiana Pagano AKA Anna Pagano.^[2] Pietro Gattuso ... He passed away about 1979.^[1]

In 1926, he married his wife, Eleanor Mangini, also known as Elena Mangini in New York City.^[3] Together they had the following children:

1. Anthony Peter Gattuso
2. Roseanna Gattuso (died young)
3. John Gattuso
4. Dorothy Gattuso
5. Elena Gattuso

Four years after he married his wife, they made their census debut as a couple alongside their son Peter.^[4] Come 1940 the Queens family has grown to include three more children.^[5]

He ended up changing his surname to "Gattus" while in New York due to mounting racism against Italians at the time. His family was from Sicily.^[6]
