Alfonso Piromallo is the cousin of both my great grandparents Maria Emilia Caracciolo di Torchiarolo and Nicola Piromallo.  Strange as this sounds, it’s because his father is the brother of my great great grandfather Saverio Giovanni Piromallo, and his mother is the sister of my great great grandfather Filippo Caracciolo di Torchiarolo.  That makes him my 1st cousin 3X removed from both families.  His ancestors, are my 4th cousins.  

He married Giovanna De Marteau and they had ten children.
