http://www.stevemorse.org/ has a link to search some NY death indexes.

There, there is someone who fits well with the person you are looking for:

Melchiore Sacco, aged 70, died Oct 30 1927, Kings.

There is also a Guis. Sacco travelling with the M. Sacco in 1886, aged 21 - brother?

Where were the daughters Frances and Annie born? If he came in 1886, was he married then? If not, then where did Frances come from? The ages/dates are off from the 1900 census - if he was born August 1865, he should have been about 34, not 44.

There's also a Melchona Sacco, labourer, aged 23, arrived in 1887 into Castle Garden on the La Gascogne.

- the names might be mixed up, as they start off by calling her 'Florence Stacco' but there's a record from the Brooklyn Eagle in 1902 about Florence Stacco/Sacco, of 1217 sixtieth Street, who was engaged to Franko Pasqualino, but believing him to be unfaithful committed suicide by taking carbolic acid. Her father is listed as Michael Sacco, a barber, who came with his wife, and daughters Florence and Annie to the US 15 years previously, the wife having died two years previously. (NY Times archive has a short death notice for her which does give her age as 21).

This seems to fit somewhat with the census data... have you managed to track them down in 1910 yet?
