If your Vittorio Monzeglio was only in New York from 1913 to 1914, he will not appear in the census taken in 1915.

I did not find any record of a Francesco Monzeglio  in New York. He may have been there for only a short time as well.
There was an arrival in New York in 1908, for Luigi Monzeglio born about 1880 in Casorzo. He gives his father in Italy as Francesco Monzeglio.

I'm not not sure if Vittorio Monzeglio came back already in 1914, for sure he fought in WWI, so in May 1915 - November 1918 for Italy but I have no idea exactly since which date.

Monzeglio around Italy is a rare family name, but in small towns around Alessandria was very popular. Vignale Monferrato, Casorzo, Montemagno are all small villages very close one to each other. So the same name doesn't mean there's a sure family connection.

I'd be curious just to discover by whom Vittorio (nephew) and Francesco (uncle) Monzeglio are connected. This could be not so easy. It is even difficult to relate some cousins here (when often they could carry the 1st name after the grandfather), because all these names are different between them. If Romano Monzeglio could be Francesco's brother, this would be a good pick, but there's not proof of it at the moment. The last name of the wife, Gaudio, also indicates that 99% she was from Vignale, too. Only Eraldo (b. 1880) is a bit more probable some of a cousin, because in the next gen. (b. 1906) there was another Eraldo, elder cousin of my grandpa (and a famous soccer player - world champion in 1934 & 1938 with Italian team).
