The history of the last name Mancio

The surname MANCIO is of Italian origin, originating in the northern regions of Italy during the medieval period. It is believed to have derived from the Latin word "mancus," meaning "maimed" or "lacking a hand," suggesting a possible physical characteristic or occupation of an early bearer.

In the 13th century, the name appeared in various records and manuscripts from the regions of Lombardy and Veneto. One of the earliest documented instances is found in a tax record from the city of Milan in 1275, where a certain Bartolomeo Mancio was listed as a resident.

The Mancio surname is also associated with the town of Mancio, located in the province of Treviso, Veneto. It is likely that the name was initially adopted by families residing in or originating from this town, potentially as a toponymic surname.

During the Renaissance period, several notable individuals bore the Mancio surname. One of the most prominent was Faustino Mancio (1489-1557), a renowned Italian jurist and legal scholar from the city of Udine. His works on civil law and legal philosophy were highly influential during his time.

Another notable figure was Girolamo Mancio (1524-1586), a Catholic prelate and bishop of Massa Marittima in Tuscany. He played a significant role in the Council of Trent, a pivotal event in the Counter-Reformation.

In the realm of art, the Mancio surname is associated with the painter Giovanni Battista Mancio (1535-1610), a native of Udine known for his religious works and portraits. His paintings can be found in various churches and galleries throughout Italy.

During the late 16th and early 17th centuries, the Mancio family established a presence in the Republic of Venice, with several members holding important positions within the Venetian government and military. Notably, Andrea Mancio (1572-1640) served as a high-ranking naval officer and distinguished himself in various maritime battles against the Ottoman Empire.

In the 18th century, the Mancio surname gained prominence in the field of music with the composer and theorist Giacomo Mancio (1716-1788). Born in Treviso, he made significant contributions to the development of musical theory and composition techniques.
