He was born on July 14, 1911.[1] He attended Brooklyn Technical High School, St.John's College and St. John's Law School, and while studying worked as a telegraph messenger, as a newspaper copyboy, and wrote articles for an Italian-language paper. He was admitted to the bar, and practiced law in Brooklyn.[2]
DeMatteo was a member of the New York State Assembly in 1938, elected in November 1937 on the American Labor ticket in the 16th assembly district of Brooklyn. He was defeated for re-election in 1938, 1940 and 1941.
