Can someone please help me understand the meaning of the symbols engraved on my great great grandparents headstone?

Thanks

This website from Family Tree shows gravestone symbols and their meaning.

For example, the fern leaf above the surname ESPOSITO on your image means "sincerity, humility and solitude."
