Carmelo Zito (August 13, 1899 – June 9, 1980), born in Oppido Mamertina, Italy and immigrated to the United States circa 1923, was an outspoken Italian American immigrant who operated the Il Corriere del Popolo Italian-language newspaper in San Francisco, California, from 1935 through 1966. He was active in the Italian anti-fascist movement in the United States. Family members relate that he fled Mussolini's regime after learning that he was targeted for execution by the Fascists. However, local historians refer that Zito fled to the States after he shot, with his hunting rifle, while drunk, a statue of the Virgin Mary: event that infuriated the people of his village, who vehemently demonstrated against the act of blasphemy.
