Descendants of Antonio Tortorello
and ViaAntonia (Altier) Tortorello

We are indebted to Sharon Bruno who has much of the info below. Sharon's research has revealed that Antonio is the brother to Francesco. Antonio (1864-1925) and ViaAntonia (Altier) Tortorello (1870-1941) came to the United States on May 11, 1904. They brought their seven children with them to the south side of Chicago, where they remained throughout their lives.
