    There is a Giovanni Palazzo, a Doctor, arriving Ellis Island in 1923.  See his manifest at: https://heritage.statueofliberty.org/passenger-details/czoxMjoiNjAyODA0MDQwMDAzIjs=/czo4OiJtYW5pZmVzdCI7  (registration required, it's free).  It's a two page manifest.  image 0696 and 0695.  You need to scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the manifest.  Could that be your target?

    Hi Joel,

    Yes this is my great grandfather! Thanks for the detective work! Do you happen to know how I can get to his naturalization records from this?

    Best,

    Adam

    Thank you for posting on History Hub!
    With regards to your question about naturalization, if a naturalization took place in a Federal court, naturalization indexes, declarations of intention (with any accompanying certificates of arrival), and petitions for naturalization will usually be in the National Archives facility serving the state in which the Federal court is located. For example, the Archives 1 Reference Branch (RR1R) in Washington, DC, has records relating to naturalizations that took place in the District of Columbia. Please note that no central index exists.
    To ensure a successful search with the National Archives researchers should include:
    • name of petitioner (including known variants);
    • date of birth;
    • approximate date of entry to the US;
    • approximate date of naturalization;
    • where the individual was residing at the time of naturalization (city/county/state);
    • and country of origin
    In most cases, the National Archives will not have a copy of the certificate of citizenship. Two copies of the certificate were created – one given to the petitioner as proof of citizenship, and, after September 26, 1906, one forwarded to the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS).
    Good luck in your research!
    Sincerely,
    Archives 1 Reference Branch
