The history of the last name Carloni

The surname Carloni has its origins in Italy, specifically in the region of Tuscany. It is believed to have emerged during the Middle Ages, around the 12th or 13th century. The name is derived from the Italian word "carlone," which means "big farmer" or "wealthy peasant." This suggests that the name was initially given to individuals who owned or worked on large farms or agricultural estates.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Carloni appears in a document from the city of Siena, dated 1275. The document mentions a certain "Guido Carloni," who was a landowner in the area. This provides evidence that the name was already in use during that time period and associated with agricultural activities.

In the 14th century, the Carloni family gained prominence in the town of Montepulciano, located in the province of Siena. Records from that era mention several members of the Carloni family holding positions of importance within the local government and clergy. One notable figure was Giacomo Carloni, who served as the mayor of Montepulciano in 1375.

As the centuries passed, the Carloni name spread to other regions of Italy, particularly in the central and northern parts of the country. In the 16th century, a branch of the family settled in the city of Bologna, where they established themselves as successful merchants and bankers. One of the most renowned members of this branch was Girolamo Carloni (1515-1592), a prominent banker and patron of the arts.

Another significant figure bearing the Carloni surname was Antonio Carloni (1637-1718), a renowned architect and sculptor from the town of Genoa. He was responsible for the design and construction of several churches and palaces in various Italian cities, including the Church of San Nicola in Genoa and the Palazzo Doria-Tursi in Naples.

In the 19th century, the Carloni name gained international recognition through the accomplishments of the Italian sculptor Pietro Carloni (1808-1888). Born in Genoa, he spent much of his career working in England, where he created numerous sculptures and monuments, including the iconic statue of Prince Albert in Hyde Park, London.

Throughout its history, the Carloni surname has been associated with individuals from various walks of life, including landowners, politicians, bankers, artists, and architects. While the name originated in the agricultural sector of Tuscany, it has since become a widely recognized Italian surname, reflecting the diverse backgrounds and achievements of those who have carried it over the centuries.
