The history of the last name Carroccio

The surname Carroccio has its roots in Italy, originating during the medieval period. It is believed to have derived from the Italian word "carroccio," which referred to a type of fortified wagon used in battles during the 12th and 13th centuries. These carroccio wagons were adorned with banners and served as rallying points for troops on the battlefield.

The earliest recorded instances of the surname Carroccio can be traced back to the northern Italian regions of Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna, where the carroccio wagons played a significant role in the military campaigns of various city-states. One of the earliest known bearers of the name was Pietro Carroccio, a soldier from Milan who fought in the Battle of Legnano in 1176 against the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick Barbarossa.

In the 13th century, the surname Carroccio appeared in several historical documents, including the records of the Commune of Parma. Notable figures from this period include Guglielmo Carroccio, a prominent merchant and diplomat who represented Parma in negotiations with neighboring cities.

As the name spread throughout Italy, it underwent various spelling variations, such as Carrocci, Carrozzi, and Carrozi. Some individuals with the surname Carroccio were associated with specific place names, like Giovanni Carroccio da Reggio, a scholar born in Reggio Emilia in the late 15th century.

One of the most renowned individuals with the surname Carroccio was Vincenzo Carroccio, a Renaissance painter born in Ferrara in 1525. He was renowned for his religious artworks and frescoes, many of which can still be admired in churches and galleries throughout Italy.

Another notable figure was Girolamo Carroccio, a 16th-century lawyer and jurist from Bologna, who served as a legal advisor to several influential Italian families. His treatises on civil law were widely respected and influential during his time.
