The history of the last name DeQuattro

The surname DeQuattro originated in Italy, likely during the medieval period. It is derived from the Italian words "de" and "quattro," which together mean "of four." This suggests that the name may have been given to someone who lived at a location designated by the number four, such as the fourth house on a street or the fourth farm in a village.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the DeQuattro name can be found in the Codice Diplomatico della Lombardia Medievale, a collection of medieval documents from the region of Lombardy, Italy. In this collection, a certain Guglielmo DeQuattro is mentioned in a document dated 1238, indicating that the name was already in use by that time.

During the Renaissance period, the DeQuattro family appeared to have established themselves in the city of Venice. A famous member of the family was Marco DeQuattro, a Venetian merchant and trader who lived from 1450 to 1516. He is known for his extensive trade connections with the Middle East and his contributions to the flourishing of Venetian commerce during that era.

In the 17th century, the DeQuattro name spread to other parts of Italy, including the region of Tuscany. A notable figure from this time was Giulia DeQuattro (1602-1678), a renowned painter who was part of the Florentine School of Art. Her works can still be found in various museums and churches throughout Italy.

As the Italian diaspora spread across Europe and beyond, the DeQuattro name traveled with them. In the 18th century, a branch of the family settled in France, where they became known as the DeQuatre family. One of the most famous members of this French branch was Pierre DeQuatre (1715-1788), a celebrated playwright and author whose works were widely performed and published during the French Enlightenment.

Another notable figure was Giovanni DeQuattro (1820-1892), an Italian-born architect who emigrated to the United States in the mid-19th century. He was responsible for designing several iconic buildings in New York City, including the original Metropolitan Opera House and the Marble Collegiate Church.
