The history of the last name DiBucci

The surname DIBUCCI is of Italian origin, specifically from the region of Tuscany. It is believed to have originated in the 13th or 14th century as a variation of the Italian word "dibuccio," which means "of the mouth" or "of the voice." This surname was likely given to someone who had a distinctive voice or who worked as a town crier or public speaker.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the DIBUCCI surname can be found in the Florentine archives from the late 13th century, where a certain Giovanni di Bucci is mentioned as a merchant in the city of Florence. This suggests that the name may have originated as a patronymic, referring to an ancestor named Bucci or Buccio.

In the 15th century, the DIBUCCI family gained prominence in the city of Siena, where several members held important positions in the local government and were involved in the city's trade and banking activities. One notable figure from this period was Francesco DIBUCCI (1420-1495), a wealthy merchant and banker who served as a financial advisor to the Sienese Republic.

During the Renaissance, the DIBUCCI name also appeared in various artistic and literary circles. Pietro DIBUCCI (1460-1522) was a renowned painter from Siena, known for his religious works and frescoes adorning several churches in the region. Another notable figure was the poet and humanist Girolamo DIBUCCI (1475-1543), who was a member of the Accademia degli Intronati, a prestigious literary academy in Siena.

In the 17th century, the DIBUCCI family established itself in the city of Naples, where they were involved in the silk trade and other commercial activities. One prominent member of this branch was Tommaso DIBUCCI (1625-1698), a successful merchant and philanthropist who founded a hospital for the poor in Naples.

Throughout the centuries, the DIBUCCI surname has also been associated with various places and landmarks in Italy. For instance, the Palazzo DIBUCCI in Siena, a historic palace dating back to the 15th century, was once owned by a prominent family of the same name. Additionally, there is a small village called DIBUCCI in the province of Grosseto, Tuscany, which may have derived its name from the surname itself.
