Peter Enrietto was born in northern Italy in 1894 and came to the United States in 1913. He settled in a coal mining area of southern Illinois and married Laura Giacomo in 1923. She was born in Italy in 1907 and came to Illinois in 1910. In about 1944, following visits to Louisville by them and their family over the previous several years, they came to Louisville to join Peter's brother, Barney Enrietto, and his wife, Mary. In Louisville directories, Peter is listed as having worked as a carpenter. Directories show that Laura Enrietto worked as a bartender at the Hacienda Restaurant at 808 Main. After Colacci's Restaurant opened next door to the Hacienda in 1955, Laura Enrietto then had a small liquor store on the south of the building called "Laura's Liquors" until the early 1960s.
