The surname DALLAPIAZZA is of Italian origin, tracing its roots back to the medieval period. It is a locational surname, derived from the Italian words "dalla" meaning "from" and "piazza" referring to a town square or marketplace.

This surname is believed to have originated in the regions of northern Italy, particularly in the areas around Venice and the surrounding Veneto region. It likely referred to individuals who lived near or worked in the central piazzas or marketplaces of these towns.

While there are no definitive records of its earliest usage, surnames derived from places became common in Italy during the late Middle Ages as a means of distinguishing individuals within growing urban populations.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name DALLAPIAZZA can be found in a document from the Venetian archives, dated 1437, which mentions a merchant named Giovanni DALLAPIAZZA conducting business in the city's famous Piazza San Marco.

Another notable early bearer of this surname was Niccolò DALLAPIAZZA, a renowned painter from Verona who lived during the late 15th century and is credited with several frescoes adorning churches in his native city.

In the 16th century, the DALLAPIAZZA family gained prominence in the city of Padua, where they were involved in the wool trade. Records from this period include references to a Marco DALLAPIAZZA, who served as a city councilor in 1568.

During the Renaissance, the name DALLAPIAZZA was also associated with the arts. Pietro DALLAPIAZZA, born in Venice in 1492, was a celebrated sculptor whose works can still be found in various churches and palaces throughout the Veneto region.
