There are 30 Africano's in Sicily nowadays, according to the Italian
phone directory. Check here:
<http://elenco.libero.it/elencotel/public/RicercaPerProvince.jsp?
nome=&regione=sicilia&cognome=africano>

The correct name for your ancestors' commune was not Cimmina but
Ciminna. Interesting website here:
<http://www.ciminnaonline.com/>

Here you can check a family name in Ciminna ed other Sicilian communes:

Hope it helps,

Number of Africano in Ciminna = 0
Number of Africano in Palermo = 0

Sorry.
Seems a typical attribute: Joe Doe the "African" (dark skin, hairs, lips
or other).
