Al D'Arco talks about him in his book. D'Arco was one of his young associates and he worked in a Gambling joint that belonged to Jimmy Alto and an old timer called "Don Zaza".

Jimmy Alto was very low key. He had a club in Little Italy. One day D'Arco showed up to the club all dressed up and Alto admonished him for looking like a movie gangster. He also told D'Arco not to sit outside the club during work hours because it looked bad and attract attention.

He was born in 1984 in Mangalone, Calabria.

If I remember well, in his book, D'Arco states that Jimmy Alto was more or less on his own and didn't belong to any family but I guess Alto was so low key that even his own associates didn't know he was a made guy with the Genoveses.

D'Arco also says that Alto was one of Luciano's gunmen who was sent thoughout the country to kill the Mustache Petes who wouldn't recognize the new regime.
