It would be most effective to interview any known family for any clues or information to get started.
Pilardi is a unique enough Italian surname that is found in two villages in Lazio (or Latium) region of Italy: Terracina and Fiugi http://italia.indettaglio.it/eng/cognomi/cognomi_lazio.html and in a few villages in Umbria: Terni and Norcia http://italia.indettaglio.it/eng/cognomi/cognomi_umbria.html
Due to privacy issues there are no records after 1900-1910 available online for these towns.
I'm sure if you research the towns on indettalgio http://italia.indettaglio.it/eng/comuni/comuni.html you will find the civil offices and the parishes you could contact for information.
If the above search is too broad or unclear you can write to the NARA https://www.archives.gov/research/genealogy for his naturalization papers and request his social security death index to get his mother's maiden name. This Family Search Wiki link explains it all: https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/U.S._Social_Security_Records_for_Genealogists.
I hope that helps!
