I've tried cognomix.it, and not found Roccaforti/e
In Italian White Pages, only two occurrences in the North.
Looking at indexed Italian records in FamilySearch, in the province of Agrigento

https://www.familysearch.org/it/search/ ... Id=2480962

they are from
Sambuca
Sant'Angelo Muxaro
Cianciana
Santa Margherita
San Biagio Platanì
Menfi

with a prevalence of the ones in red.
However, you're looking for records two centuries older, so the surname might have been present somewhere else and extincted
Giuseppe "Pippo" Moccaldi

Pippo,
I have another question. I believe the D'Anna surname is more a priority as usually the marriage happened where the bride lived.
Where would have D'Anna been prevalent?
I will try what you provided but not sure if i will be successful
Thanks much!
