Over time, the name evolved into various forms, including Marzorati, Marzoratti, and Marzorato.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Marzorati can be found in the 13th century, when a certain Guglielmo Marzorati was mentioned in a historical document from the city of Milan. This document, dated around 1280, suggests that the Marzorati family had already established a presence in the region during that time.

In the 14th century, the name Marzorati appeared in several records from the town of Vigevano, located in the province of Pavia. These records indicate that members of the Marzorati family held influential positions within the local community, serving as merchants, landowners, and even as members of the town council.

During the Renaissance period, the Marzorati name gained further prominence. One notable figure from this era was Giovanni Battista Marzorati, a prominent painter and architect who lived from 1510 to 1592.

Another influential individual bearing the Marzorati surname was Cesare Marzorati, a renowned jurist and legal scholar who lived from 1595 to 1670. Marzorati served as a professor of law at the University of Pavia and was widely respected for his contributions to the field of jurisprudence.

In the 18th century, the Marzorati name gained further prominence with the birth of Antonio Marzorati (1716-1787), a prominent Italian architect and engineer. Marzorati was responsible for the design and construction of several notable buildings and structures in the city of Milan, including the Palazzo Clerici and the Chiesa di San Vittore al Corpo.
