Can Italian regions or cities be located by a Surname??

[sandyb]

I had heard my Italian ancestors came from Palermo but not sure. The names are henrique (Henry) Faccini & Camilla Romeo. Henry was a fisherman who immigrated to California. I had heard many fishermen came from Isola del Femmine. Any info on how to connect surnames to towns would be much appreciated.
