There are only Ratazzi in germany. In Italy there are also Rattazzi, but I think this is also not really correct, becaus I belive the origin name is the hungarian name Ratazzy. I'm very happy to see your post, becaus I was also born in Darmstadt (near by Frankfurt/Main)(state: Hessen, country Germany). I thought George Ratazzi was born in Frankfurt/Main.
