Help with name please

Trying to figure out cognome of Antonino's mother Fortunata. Any opinions?

If it's "Zimmitti" be aware that some Hebrew (Ebreo) immigrants to Italy named "Zimmer" or "Zimmerman" living in Sicily Italianized their surname to Zimmitti. So that would be a possibility in other regions too, like Calabria. Just a thought.

Thank you, appreciate that extra interesting bit of information, very helpful.

The first letter looks like a J in one document and an L in other, so it could be Jimmiti or Limmiti but I went with the more familiar Zimmitti. Maybe others will give it a try.

Found it on the site with the church records from Reggio and they have it as Zinniti. Thanks for the input, the first letter had me stumped.
