It's best to start by interviewing family members, uncles, aunts, cousins who knew something about him. Where was he born? Where did he die? Did he immigrate to America? If so, where? About what date? If he immigrated his military record could have his birth place in Italy. Did they marry in Italy or the U.S.? What parish did they attend in the U.S.? The marriage record should have their parents' names. His SSDI should have his mother's maiden name on it as well. If he immigrated you need to search everything you can in to the U.S. first and then jump back to Italy when you have an exact location.
Get all the U.S. info such as census, social security and military records (they all had to register) and then jump the pond to Italy when you have more info.
Good luck!
