The history of the last name Dominicci

The surname Dominicci originated in Italy during the medieval period, deriving from the Latin word "dominicus," which means "of the Lord." It was initially used to denote individuals who were closely associated with the church or held positions of authority within religious institutions.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Dominicci can be found in the Codex Diplomaticus Cavensis, a collection of medieval documents from the Cava de' Tirreni monastery in Campania, Italy. This codex, dating back to the 11th century, mentions a nobleman named Iohannes Dominicci, who held land near the monastery.

In the 13th century, the name Dominicci appeared in the Libro delle Ricordanze, a historical record from the city of Pisa. This document references a merchant family named Dominicci who had established themselves as prominent traders in the region.

During the Renaissance period, several notable individuals bore the surname Dominicci. One such figure was Girolamo Dominicci, a 15th-century Italian painter from Siena, renowned for his religious works. Another was Pietro Dominicci, a 16th-century philosopher and theologian from Venice, who authored several scholarly treatises on metaphysics and natural philosophy.

In the 17th century, the Dominicci name gained prominence in the literary world with the birth of Vincenzo Dominicci (1596-1679), a celebrated poet and dramatist from Naples. His works, including the pastoral play "Il Ratto di Proserpina," were highly regarded during his lifetime and influenced subsequent generations of Italian writers.

The 18th century saw the rise of Domenico Dominicci (1726-1803), a renowned architect from Milan. He was responsible for designing several notable buildings, including the Church of San Vincenzo in Prato and the Palazzo del Governo in Bergamo.

As the surname Dominicci spread across Italy and beyond, it underwent various spelling variations, such as Dominici, Dominico, and Dominicis.
