Location Girgenti?

[vj]

On the same manifest I've found both
S Giovanni G, and Girgenti for a last residence
I can find San Giovanni (Gemini) in Agrigento on a map
and I can find old references to a Girgenti also in Sicily on Google, but no map...
Were these the same place?

Thanks! vj

AGRIGENTO
This town which overlooks the southern coast, was founded around 582 by Greek colonists and named Akragas; the Romans later on changed the name into Agrigentum, then it became Girgenti and finally Agrigento in 1927.
