The surname BERTOTTI has its origins in Italy, tracing back to the medieval period. It is believed to have derived from the Italian personal name Berto or Bertino, which were diminutive forms of the Germanic name Berthold or Bertrand. These names were quite common in northern Italy during the Middle Ages.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname BERTOTTI can be found in a document from the city of Pavia, dated around 1270. The name appeared as "Bertotus", referring to a landowner in the region. This spelling variation suggests that the surname may have evolved from a nickname or a place name.

In the 14th century, a notable figure named Giovanni Bertotti was mentioned in the records of the city of Milan. He was a respected merchant and banker who played a significant role in the city's economic affairs. Unfortunately, no specific dates are available for his birth or death.

During the Renaissance period, the BERTOTTI surname gained prominence in the arts and literature. In the 16th century, a poet named Girolamo Bertotti from Modena was celebrated for his lyrical compositions. His work, "Rime Diverse," was published in 1568, showcasing his poetic talents.

Another notable figure was Antonio Bertotti, a painter from Verona who lived in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. His artistic style was influenced by the Venetian school, and he specialized in religious paintings and portraiture. Some of his works can still be found in churches and museums across northern Italy.

In the 18th century, the BERTOTTI surname was associated with the legal profession. Pietro Bertotti, born in 1712 in Milan, was a renowned jurist and legal scholar. He authored several influential treatises on law and served as a judge in the Milanese courts.
