19thC Italian Portrait Watercolour Signed G FONTANA ITILAZZO 1878

Hi - I have this well executed watercolour which is dated 1878 and signed I think G Fontana and what looks like Itilazzo - I can find details of a Giovanni Fontana around this period but this is for a sculpture and not a painting.  I am also not sure of the worked Itilazzo means - can anyone help please?

there was a Giuseppe Fontana painter who also have paintings in the same style and subject. https://www.mutualart.com/Artist/Giuseppe-Fontana/8C127AB17ECA66B1
In your painting, it is shown a woman from the south of Italy, judging by the dress. So, the unknown word may be Milazzo - a town from Sicily .
all these are not my thoughts :) . I asked a friend who is specialised in Italian linguistic, i suppose she knows better than i do :)

i think either it is an old print because it is shiny in the light and has a rather smooth texture, as i can see

i think i found the painter . it is about Ernesto Fontana, italian painter, the same faces, same women , same themes. and, i can see, the signature is almost identic.

exemple " Portrait of a nobleman, bust-length, in a white shirt and a black coatsigned, inscribed and dated 'E.Fontana Milano 1895' (centre left)"
so, the unknown word isn't Milazzo, it is Milano.

Hi - Thank you for all of your information - I can confirm it is definitely an original artwork and is a watercolour rather than a print. The first initial is definitely a G rather than an E and although it is similar subject matter I think we can rule Ernesto out and as well as you said the other work is oils rather than watercolour. Also the G and F are not the same as shown in the paintings by Giuseppe Fontana so I think this can be ruled out as well sorry!

I think I will remove it from the frame so see if I can see the signature more clearly or see if there is any information on the back so will let you know!
