Bizza Aquina (Sicily)..?

[MarcuccioV]

In attempting to run down an x-chromosome match, I came across someone whose NJ immigration/naturalization application shows a birthplace of "Bizza Aquina" (it is on the document in several places, spelled the same each time), having sailed on the SS Italia (coincidentally the same ship my grandfather came to the US on).

She sailed out of Palermo, so I assume it's in Sicily, perhaps near Palermo.

I see a frazione of Palermo called "Aquino", but no "Bizza Aquina". Has anyone heard of it..?

Here is the document:

I would say Bisacquino, a comune in the Metropolitan City of Palermo.

Thank you, Tessa. I have heard of it, but somehow didn't connect the dots...
