It's just a coincidence. I suspect she was born in Oppido Mamertina, which is in the Calabrian province of Crotone--there are Todaros among the inhabitants of that comune, which is where her husband was born.
oppido mamertina is in reggio calabria province anyway i think joe todaro was sicilian
You are absolutely correct about the province; I typed "Crotone" because some Ancestry.com users are mistakenly using "Castellace, di, Oppido Mamertina, Crotone, Calabria, Italy" as the place where their ancestors might have lived. (I've been updating a family tree for the Luppino family ever since Ciment posted a link to the Luppino family tree that appears on Twitter.) My apologies to all.
Luppino's birthplace has been stated in several books and articles as Castellace di Oppido Mamertina or just Oppido Mamertina. Reporter Dan Nolan's obituary about Giacomo's son Vincenzo stated that Vincenzo was "[b]orn in 1926 in Castellace (Reggio Calabria) Italy."
