I know Marciano had a brother but I don't think his name was Thomas....

yea Rocky Marciano's original name was Rocco Marchegiano for those who didn't know.....

No blood relation to the heavyweight champion, Tommy Rocco Marciano, although his right name, like Rocky's, is Marchegiano. The difference between the namesakes was weight and ring style. Tommy was a welterweight, and - while he's a solid socker - he was inclined to boxing rather than slugging. He was a cool operator, had a keen eye, moved smoothly, and was a sharp-shooter with both hands. His left hook was his favorite wallop.
Born in Phoenixville, Pa. on Aug. 16, 1934, Tommy began boxing in 1951 under directions of Frank Costello, an ex-GI fighter and later Tommy's manager. He won 21 out of 23 amateur contests. In 1952 he knocked out Carmelo Costa, winning the Eastern Golden Gloves lightweight title.
He turned pro in Florida, where he scored two kayoes, in July 1952. Went undefeated in at least 17 bouts, he listed among his victims, Lou Martino, Johnny Busso, Jimmy Bryant and Joe Murray - the latter pair by he KO route. Three of those bouts ended in draw decisions.
Tommy started training at the Sant Anna Italian Club while attended high school and worked as a playground instructor. Marciano's co-manager was Tex Sullivan.

Marciano had two brothers & three sisters that I know of, with Rocky being the oldest of the bunch;

Louis (aka Sonny), Peter, Alice, Conge, and Elizabeth.

He was a little smaller then his brother and he ran the Rocky Marciano Gym in Jersey City, New Jersey, along with Al Certo. Back in 1999, he asked me to MC the unveiling of the Rocky Marciano Stamp. Lou Duva, Chuck Wepner and some other boxing people were their. They had it on the TV News and newspapers.

Lou Marciano is a very nice person, at least to me he was!
