No connection that I know of.
Why are you asking me?
I don't believe I have the name Graziano or any connection to Sicily in any of my family trees.

My mother-in-law Philipine (Phil) Tantillo Fazzino said to tell you that her Grandma was Antonia Cannizaro from Villafranti, and her Uncle was Joe and her mother was Providenzia. Her mother lived in Hammond, Louisiana and married her dad Vito Tantillo. She is now living in Collierville, TN with us.

Don't have your Francesco, but I am researching line of:

ROSE C. GRAZIANO born 1918 Hammond, Louisiana; married Frank C. Richardson;
died 5 Dec 2014 Baton Rouge, La; daugh of GUISEPPIE (aka JOE) GRAZIANO (1886-
1947) born in Italy & Antoinette (aka Annie) Bongiovanni
GUISEPPIE (aka JOE) GRAZIANO son of FRANCESCO (aka FRANK) GRAZIANO (1843-
1930) and Rosaria Giannobile
FRANCESCO (aka FRANK) GRAZIANO born Italy, son of GIOVANNI GRAZIANO and
Cira di Dato
GIOVANNI GRAZIANO born 1798 Villafrati; died 1872 Bagheria, Palermo, son of GIUSEPPE
GRAZIANO and Rosa La Porta
GIUSEPPE GRAZIANO born Ciminna, Palermo 1773 son of FRANCESCO GRAZIANI (note
change in spelling of surname) and Vita Sacco
FRANCESCO GRAZIANI born 1755 Scolca, Haute-Corse, France son of ANTON FRANCESCO
GRAZIANI and Gentilletta ____
ANTON FRANCESCO GRAZIANI born 1717 Scolca, Haute-Corse, France son of VENANTIO
GRAZIANI and Denia

It may be that your FRANCESCO descends from this line. Also...I was surprised to find earlier generations in France, even though maintaining a name akin to Italian. Perhaps they went back and forth between these countries in earlier times.

Any one here recognize ANY of these names I would love to hear from you. I may be contacted at e-mail address: atompkins0012@gmail.com
