Need guidance on how to find info on Great grandparents

Hello,
My great grandfather was Biagio Azzarelli born around 1852 close to Palermo and my Great Grandmother was Maria Rinzivillo, born around 1865 in Modica, Sicily. They may have had family in Gela, Modica and Sferracavallo. They both died in Alexandria, Egypt. How do I go about getting more information, like their parents and siblings names, etc. This is all the info I have.
Thank you in advance for any and all help and advice.
Best Regards,
Julie

Thank you Mmogno! This information is such a great help. If you have any more information such as 3rd grandparents or siblings, that would be great. I tried going to the archive but I do not read or speak much Italian. I just came back to this website 2 years later to find the information you left. I truly appreciate it

Any other information will also be greatly appreciated. Thanks again.
