The history of the last name Corletto

The surname Corletto is of Italian origin, believed to have originated in the regions of Piedmont and Lombardy during the late medieval period. Its etymology is derived from the Italian word "corletto," which means a small or diminutive court.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Corletto can be found in the Estimo d'Asti, a historical tax record from the city of Asti in Piedmont, dated to the 14th century. This document mentions a certain Giovanni Corletto, a landowner in the area.

In the 15th century, the Corletto family established itself in the town of Vigevano, located in the province of Pavia, Lombardy. Historical records show that a branch of the family owned a significant amount of land and properties in the area.

During the Renaissance period, a notable member of the Corletto family was Antonio Corletto (1455-1527), a renowned architect and engineer from Milan. He is credited with designing several prominent buildings and fortifications in the Lombardy region.

In the 17th century, the Corletto name appears in the baptismal records of the parish church of San Martino in Vigevano, indicating the family's continued presence in the area.

Another prominent figure with the surname Corletto was Giuseppe Corletto (1720-1789), a Piedmontese lawyer and jurist who served as a magistrate in the city of Turin. He was widely respected for his legal expertise and authored several influential treatises on civil law.

During the 19th century, the Corletto family expanded beyond Italy, with members migrating to other parts of Europe and the Americas. One such individual was Francesco Corletto (1825-1892), an Italian-born sculptor who settled in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and gained recognition for his public monuments and statues.

In the early 20th century, a notable bearer of the Corletto surname was Umberto Corletto (1885-1962), an Italian politician and journalist. He served as a member of the Italian Parliament and was known for his advocacy of social reforms and workers' rights.

While the Corletto surname is most commonly associated with its Italian origins, it has also been documented in other countries, possibly due to migration patterns or variations in spelling over time.
