Looking for information on my grandfather and his parents

[Kaylie]

I am looking for Birth Dates and Dates of Death for my maternal great grandfather, Mariano Leotta, born in Riposto and his mother and father Giuseppe and Giovanna Giudici. My great grandfather never immigrated to the US. He was born and died in the town of Riposto Sicily, provincia Catania. Is there anyone who can help me find this information? I would also like to find information on my maternal grandfather Rosario Rodolico, born in Vittoria, Sicily. He did immigrate to the US but eventually returned and never came back. I believe he died in Riposto, Italy. His spouse was Maria Leotta. I would be much appreciative if there is anyone who can help me fiind the information I am looking for. Thank you.

Can you provide approximate years of death for your GF and GGF?

Or anything that can help us narrow down birth and death year approximations?
Name of spouse of Mariano Leotta? When married? When children born?

My grandfather's death was probably between 1925-1930. He and my grandmother were marred in 1899. She was born in 1880 I am approximating that he died some time before 1930 in Riposto since my grandmother immigrated shortly after his death. I believe that my grandmother was the first of five children. I do not have any information on my great grandfather Mariano Leotta or his wife Giovanna Giudici.

Thank you. That helps.
For clarification... to whom was Giovanna Giudici married? You stated Giuseppe Leotta in your first post and Mariano Leotta in your second...

ANd - Maria Leotta (born about 1880) married Rosario Ridolico about 1899?

EDIT TO ADD***

Here is the Publication of Banns ofMarriage of Maria Leotta and Rosario Rudolico in 1899 in Riposto
#10
Dated 28 January 1899
Groom: Rosario Rudolico, unmarried, 28, cooper, residing in Riposto, son of Giuseppe, age 63 residing in Vittoria, and of Giovanna Giudici...
Bride: Maria Leotta, unmarried, 19, residing in Riposto, daughter of Mariano, age 49, a laborer residing in Riposto and of Gaetana Conti.

So Giovanna Giudici was married to Giuseppe Rudolico, and their son was Rosario...

Maria Leotta's parents were Mariano Leotta and Gaetana Conti...

Mariano Leotta's age (49) in the marriage of his daughter puts his birth year about 1850.
Rosario Rudolico was born about 1871 (age 28 in 1899)
Maria Leotta born about 1880 (age 19 in 1899)
Giuseppe Rudolico was born about 1836 (age 63 in 1899)

***
Here is the actual Marriage Act (#8) dated 9 February 1899.

My maternal grandfather was Rosario Rodolico. He married Maria Leotta in 1899. I have a copy of their Certificate di Matrimonio. Giuseppe Rodolico and Giovanna Giudici were Rosario's parents (my great grandparents on Rosario's side).
Mariano Leotta was my maternal great grandfather married to Gaetana Conti (my great grandparents ) and parents of my grandmother Maria Leotta. Can you tell me where in Family Search I can find information so I can find more of my ancestors. Thank you for your help.
