The history of the last name Antonetty

The surname Antonetty has its origins in Italy, specifically in the regions of Tuscany and Lombardy. It is believed to have emerged in the late 15th or early 16th century, derived from the Italian personal name Antonio, which itself is derived from the Latin name Antonius.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname Antonetty can be found in a document from the city of Florence, dated 1528. This document mentions a certain Gian Battista Antonetty, a merchant who traded in fine fabrics and silks.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, the surname Antonetty was particularly prevalent in the town of Siena, located in Tuscany. Several members of the Antonetty family were involved in the local government and held positions of influence in the city's guilds.

A notable figure bearing the surname Antonetty was Pietro Antonetty (1590-1654), a renowned painter from Siena who specialized in religious works and frescoes. His paintings can still be found in various churches and museums throughout Italy.

During the 18th century, the Antonetty family expanded its presence to other parts of Italy, including the city of Milan in Lombardy. Here, a branch of the family became involved in the silk trade, which was a thriving industry in the region at the time.

One of the most prominent members of the Milanese branch was Carlo Antonetty (1734-1806), a successful silk merchant who also served as a magistrate in the city's judicial system.

In the 19th century, the surname Antonetty began to spread beyond Italy as members of the family migrated to other parts of Europe and the Americas. For instance, a certain Giacomo Antonetty (1812-1885), born in Siena, settled in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where he established a successful import-export business.
