One such individual was Bartolomeo CORADO, a renowned military commander and landowner from Bologna, who lived between 1340 and 1412.

Francesco CORADO, a celebrated artist and architect from Siena, was renowned for his contributions to the construction of the Duomo di Siena, one of Italy's most iconic cathedrals. He lived from 1428 to 1496.

The CORADO surname also found its way into literary circles during the 16th century. Antonio CORADO, a renowned poet and humanist from Rome, was celebrated for his works, which included odes and sonnets dedicated to the city's rich culture and history. He lived from 1510 to 1585.
