According to John Humphries in the post below (and confirmed in another thread by David McKinney) 'Pacifico' was a pseudonym used occasionally by Mennato Boffa:

As you probably know Mennato Boffa raced as "Akmall Willy" and "Pacifico".

According to that "august" journal Autosport, Ferro was born in 1888. Boffa was born in 1930 in Benevento.

I suspect that the little tinker "Menotti Ferro" was born in 1988!!

Boffa has several earlier threads here, including these:

and here are his race listings on the Racing Sports Cars site:

but I suspect you already have plenty of info about Boffa and his racing career.  :)
