Or do a search for: "Find nationality of surname" and choose from many other sites where you can look it up.
If it's a first name, either do a search for: "Find nationality of a first name", and choose one of the many sites out there where you can look up a first name. Here are a couple of links you can try if you don't want to do a search:

It isn't 100%, but it's the best you could do without just asking the person in question if they are Italian or not.
Hope that helps!

From what I understand, a 'ch' sound in English is similar to the 'cc' sound in Italian. Mucci, Mucciarone, Muccino, and Muccio would be the closest to what I think Muschiana may sound like.
Muschiana might also be derived from something like Marchiano.

You can search the meanings of any name online and often the origin of a name. It'll be the easiest googling the name and adding "origins of ___ name" or something similar.
