Catalano surname move from Italy to Bisacquino, Sicily

[delliott7756]

I am trying to learn the history about my Catalano family in Bisacquino, Sicily. I got back as far as Ippolito Catalano and Santa Oddo around 1775 but nothing past them. According to history, the name CATALANO originally came from Spain and then migrated to Italy; adopting the surname from Catalonia. (Correct me if I am wrong) If my family is in Sicily, when did they get to Sicily and from where in Italy. My Great Grandparents Ippolito Catalano, his wife Dominica Alesci Catalano and their 3 month old baby Giuseppe immigrated to USA in 1891 to New Orleans, Louisiana. Anyone's help is great appreciated.

Thank you

Debbie
