One of the earliest recorded instances of the Micucci surname can be found in the historic town of Gubbio, located in the Umbria region of Italy. Gubbio's ancient archives contain references to the Micucci family from the 14th century, suggesting their presence in the area during that time.

In the 15th century, the Micucci name appeared in various records across the Italian regions of Umbria, Marche, and Lazio. One notable mention is found in a 1472 document from the city of Spoleto, which lists a Micucci family among the local nobility.

During the Renaissance period, a few individuals bearing the Micucci surname achieved recognition. Pietro Micucci (1512-1584), a renowned artist from Città di Castello, was celebrated for his intricate woodcarvings and sculptures adorning churches and public buildings throughout Umbria.

Another notable figure was Gianfrancesco Micucci (1589-1657), a philosopher and theologian from Perugia. His works on ethics and moral philosophy were widely studied in universities across Italy during the 17th century.

In the 18th century, the Micucci family established roots in the Kingdom of Naples, where they were involved in various trades and professions. Records from this period show Micucci families residing in the towns of Alife, Caserta, and Benevento.

One of the more prominent individuals from this era was Antonio Micucci (1742-1818), a renowned lawyer and judge who served in the Royal Court of Naples. His legal expertise and integrity earned him a reputation as one of the most respected jurists of his time.
