One of the earliest recorded instances of the name ADAUTO can be found in a document from 1492, where a certain Guido Adauto was mentioned as a merchant dealing in the trade of silk and spices. This document provides evidence that the name was already in use during the Renaissance period in Italy.

In the 16th century, there are records of an Adauto family residing in the town of Siena, which was known for its artistic and cultural heritage. It is possible that members of this family were involved in the thriving arts scene of the time.

The name ADAUTO gained further prominence in the 17th century when a scholar and historian named Giambattista Adauto (1620-1692) published several works on the history and culture of Italy. His most notable work, "Annali d'Italia," chronicled the events and developments in the Italian peninsula from the fall of the Roman Empire to the late 17th century.

Another notable figure with the surname ADAUTO was the Italian painter and architect, Luciano Adauto (1678-1741). He was renowned for his frescoes and architectural designs, particularly his work on the Church of Santa Maria della Pietà in Rome.

In the 19th century, a prominent figure bearing the ADAUTO name was Giuseppe Adauto (1815-1888), a political activist and journalist who played a significant role in the Italian unification movement. He was a staunch supporter of Giuseppe Garibaldi and wrote extensively about the struggle for Italian independence.
