His father was born in 1945.
There are some Tremonti families from Northern Italy who settled in Michigan, but I hadn’t identify the correct one so far.
may be this one: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/pedigree/landscape/LTF3-W4W
The paternal family of former Italian minister of Econony Giulio Tremonti is from Lorenzago di Cadore, so it may be a clue.
The surname Tremonti means “three mountains”.
Can someone verify this?
