Hello and welcome to the forum :-)

On a family tree (incomplete) on Ancestry.com, it appears that your grandmother's maiden name was DOLCE, and she married an IANNITELLI.
She was born in Polizzi Generosa, Palermo, Sicily in 1906.
Her parents are listed as: Domenico Dolce and Lucia Messineo

The patron saint of Polizzi Generosa is St. Gandolfo :-)

Here is a link to the WIKI website about the town.
There is a coat of arms for the town at this site on the right side of the page.

Closest surname I could find to IANNITELLI is IANITELLO...
