Passenger Manifest for Domenico Ricciardi, S.S. Providence, 1920
Two-page alien passenger manifest for the S.S. Providence arriving at New York on 12 October 1920, with a candidate entry for Domenico Ricciardi on line 23. The travel anchors, Cleveland destination, and wife Cristina Polletta match the naturalization/passenger evidence strongly enough to recommend this as the same Domenico Ricciardi, but the manifest's S. Giovanni S. residence and birthplace readings conflict with the San Giuliano del Sannio evidence and should be preserved as a discrepancy.

Summary
Two-page alien passenger manifest for the S.S. Providence arriving at New York on 12 October 1920, with a candidate entry for Domenico Ricciardi on line 23.
The Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island details page indexes this passenger as Domenico Ricciardi, age 28, married, arriving 12 October 1920 at Ellis Island on the Providence from Naples.
The 1920 declaration of intention and 1927 naturalization petition both give arrival at New York on 13 October 1920 on the Providence. Preserve the 12 October manifest date and the 13 October naturalization date as a discrepancy.
The manifest's indexed last residence is "S. Giovanni S., Italy" and the continuation page appears to repeat that locality as birthplace. This conflicts with the San Giuliano del Sannio evidence from naturalization and the 1891 birth index.
Visual review on 27 April 2026 corrected the final destination from the adjacent line's Rockford, Illinois to Domenico's line 23 destination of Cleveland, Ohio.
User-supplied page-1 JPG ingested on 1 May 2026 confirms the page-1 line 23 readings for "Ricciardi, Domenico," age 28, married, last permanent residence S. Giovanni S., nearest relative wife Cristina Polletta in S. Giovanni S., and final destination Ohio, Cleveland.
The continuation page appears to record prior U.S. residence in Ohio around 1913-1915 and an uncle Saverio Gentile/Gentili in Cleveland. These readings should be rechecked before use as standalone facts.
