The history of the last name Delladonna

The surname DELLADONNA is of Italian origin, specifically from the regions of Tuscany and Umbria. It dates back to the late medieval period, around the 13th or 14th century. The name is derived from the Italian phrase "della donna," which translates to "of the lady" or "of the woman." This suggests that the name may have originated as a descriptive surname, perhaps referring to someone who lived near or was associated with a prominent lady or noble woman.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name DELLADONNA can be found in the archives of the city of Perugia in Umbria, where a certain "Giovanni Delladonna" is mentioned in a document from the year 1387. Another historical reference is found in the records of the Republic of Florence, where a "Filippo Delladonna" is listed as a merchant in the year 1472.

In the 16th century, the DELLADONNA family gained prominence in the city of Siena, where they were involved in the textile trade and held positions of authority in the local government. One notable figure from this time was Francesco Delladonna (1522-1597), who served as a magistrate and ambassador for the Republic of Siena.

During the Renaissance period, the name DELLADONNA also appeared in various literary works and records. A famous poet from Perugia, Pietro Delladonna (1490-1558), was celebrated for his sonnets and lyrical poetry. His works were published in several anthologies and manuscripts of the time.

In the 18th century, a prominent figure was the architect and engineer Giuseppe Delladonna (1732-1808), who designed several notable buildings and infrastructure projects in the Papal States. His most famous work is the Chiesa di San Rocco in the city of Foligno.

Another individual of note was the lawyer and politician Carlo Delladonna (1837-1912), who served as a member of the Italian Chamber of Deputies and was involved in the unification of Italy in the 19th century.

Throughout history, the DELLADONNA name has been associated with various professions and backgrounds, ranging from artists and intellectuals to merchants and politicians. While the name originated in central Italy, it has since spread to other regions and countries due to migration and family connections.
