Married Virginia "Jennie" Bacigalupo Brizzolara Marre Dunn in October 1896 .He was a broker from Little Rock, Arkansas.
This information was taken from The Arkansas Preservation Program . It was found in an article "Sandwiching in History:Villa Marre,1321 Scott Street, Little Rock" on July 12, 2013 by Rachel Silva.


Jennie's best friends (Angelo Marre's sisters) immediately accused Dunn of being a gold digger. And for reasons unknown, the couple built a smaller house in 1901 at the corner of 22nd and Spring, opting to use the Villa Marre as rental property. On December 20, 1904,Jennie Marre met her husband at the train station. He had been away on business, but when his train arrived, the couple immediately got into an argument. Dunn stayed at the Capital Hotel that evening, and Jennie returned home. A few hours later, one of the couple's wait staff found Jennie dead in the hallway. The first doctor on the scene thought she had been poisoned. Every night Jennie drank wine from a decanter in the hallway, and it was right after her glass of wine that she collapsed. Rumors of murder flew around town, and things were made worse when Mr. Dunn refused to allow Marre family members into the house. The coroner ruled her death a result of heart failure.
After Jennie's death in 1904, the Villa Marre passed to Angelo Marre's heirs.

I am still looking to find info on this gentleman if anyone knows what became of him.
