He was born in Cosenza, Italy in 1931 to Eugene and Carmela Nigro, and came to Kenosha as a young child. Alex was educated in the schools of Kenosha before joining the military. He went on to work at Camosy Construction. He spent many years as a delegate for the Laborers’ International Union of North America.
