Alfredo Paradisi (Italian/American, b. 1896-unknown death), who was born in Italy, is listed in the 1930 and 1940 US Census, having an occupation of Coil Maker. In each of these, his address is listed on East Street in Pittsfield. The 1965 U.S. Cities Directory lists his address as 100 Newell Street.
