Giuseppe Bongiovi
(1851 - 19 Feb 1912)
4 Mar 07 - Searched stevemorse.org again. Based on this, I think I am definitely in the wrong place. I think the correct AD is 22 and the ED is 46, 47, or maybe 48. Search these two films (in order):
A.D. 22, E.D. 30-47, ward 26 - FHL US/CAN Film [ 523257 ] A.D. 22, E.D. 48-56, ward 26 - FHL US/CAN Film [ 523258 ]
3 March 07 -- wrong AD/ED. Searched AD 23 ED 40-45 & 50 -- No Pitkin. Seems to be wrong area. Research more.

Notes
Birth
The 1900 U.S. Census states his birth was in Oct 1851. The 1910 U.S. Census lists his age as 58 on 15 April 1910, indicating he was born between Apr 1851 and April 1852. The 30 Jul 1890 manifest of the ship he immigration on lists his age as 39, indicating his birthday would have been before Jul 1851. None of these sources are highly reliable for determining the exact date of birth, but we can reasonably assume he was born in 1851.Occupation
The ship's manifest he arrived on lists his occupation as a shoemaker, so he was probably a shoemaker in Italy as well.Immigration
He was traveling with Angela Guardino (aged 28) and Guiseppe Bongiovi (age 1). The "Iniziativa" was a 2,032 gross ton ship, built by Stephen & Sons, Glasgow, Scotland for Raggio of Italy.

Launched on 26 July1881, she came under the ownership of Navigazione Generale Italiana in 1885 and made her first voyage from Palermo to Catania and New York on 19 May 1885. She started her last voyage on the Palermo - New York route on 20 July 1894 and made a total of 28 round voyages on this route.Residence
