His older brother Mario Menti, younger brother Romeo Menti and nephew Luigi Menti (son of Mario) all played football professionally, with Romeo playing in the Grande Torino, representing Italy and died in the Superga air disaster. To distinguish them, Mario was known as Menti I, Umberto as Menti II, Romeo as Menti III, and Luigi as Menti IV. In some sources, Mario was ignored and Umberto and Romeo were listed as Menti I and Menti II respectively.
