One of the earliest records of the Dumenigo name can be found in the Sicilian town of Messina, where a family by that name is mentioned in a document dating back to the 13th century. During this time, Sicily was under the rule of the Norman kings, and many noble families were granted lands and titles by the crown.

The Dumenigo name also appears in several historical documents from the 15th and 16th centuries in the region of Calabria, which was then part of the Kingdom of Naples. These records often refer to members of the Dumenigo family as landowners, merchants, or members of the local nobility.

In the 17th century, a notable figure named Giovanni Battista Dumenigo (1587-1657) was a renowned architect who designed several churches and palaces in Naples and its surrounding areas. His most famous work is the Church of Santa Maria della Sanità, which is considered a masterpiece of Baroque architecture.

Another prominent individual with the Dumenigo surname was Domenico Dumenigo (1723-1789), a Sicilian composer and musician who served as the chapel master at the Cathedral of Palermo. His compositions, including masses and sacred motets, were highly regarded during his lifetime.

In the 19th century, a man named Giuseppe Dumenigo (1812-1887) was a respected historian and author from Calabria. He wrote extensively about the history and culture of his region, with his most notable work being a comprehensive history of the city of Reggio Calabria.
