In the 16th century, there are records of a notable figure named Giovanni Battista Detullio, who was a renowned artist and sculptor from the city of Naples. He was born in 1542 and died in 1612, and his works can still be found in various churches and museums throughout southern Italy.

Another prominent individual with the surname DETULLIO was Vincenzo Detullio, who lived in the 18th century and was a respected jurist and legal scholar from the town of Salerno in Campania. He authored several influential texts on legal matters and served as a judge in the local courts.
