This is a wild-shot, but can someone translate who Fortunato was going to (column 16) -name and relation to him. see attachment below.

Also, what would possibly be the Americanized name for "Fortunato". I was told "Fred" ? Thank you.

This is a difficult decipher

It looks like the clerk wrote over the original "ditto" notation... the lighter color writing being the change.
The beginning of the lighter writing indicates he was going to "brother" - unfortunately, I am unable to read the rest of the notation.

Fred is usually the Americanization of Federico.
It could be used for Fortunato, I suppose.

Tessa, thank you. This does help since I believe he was going to his brother named Giuseppe Fallara. Appreciate, Joy.

This confirms your belief.
I located the "Detained Passengers" list (see line 25) for the ship manifest.
Fortunato Fallara - "To go to bro. Gius. 355 Broome St."
