Fresno restauranteur Frank Vitucci, who co-founded the original DiCicco's restaurant, has died.

Relatives say Vitucci died of a heart attack September 26th. He was on a flight to the United States from Italy where he had been visiting family.

Vitucci was the last of the four brothers, who opened DiCicco's in 1956. The family business grew over the years, and now there are more than a dozen valley eateries bearing the DiCicco name.

Frank Vitucci was 74-years-old.
