The name MASTANTUONO is derived from two Italian words: "masto" and "antuono." The word "masto" is believed to be a variation of the word "mastro," which means "master" or "skilled craftsman."

In the 17th century, a branch of the MASTANTUONO family migrated to the island of Sicily, where they established themselves in the city of Palermo. One member of this family, Francesco MASTANTUONO, born in 1642, was a respected lawyer and judge in the city.

As the centuries progressed, the MASTANTUONO surname continued to be present in various regions of Italy. Noteworthy individuals include Antonio MASTANTUONO, a 19th-century painter from Naples, and Vincenzo MASTANTUONO, a renowned sculptor from Calabria, born in 1872.
