The surname Quadri is of Italian origin, specifically from the Lombardy region of northern Italy. It is believed to have emerged during the late Middle Ages, around the 13th or 14th century. The name Quadri is derived from the Italian word "quadro," meaning "square" or "frame," likely referring to a person's occupation as a painter, framer, or someone involved in the production of art or decorative items.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Quadri can be found in the archives of the city of Milan, where a certain Giovanni Quadri was mentioned as a guild member of the painters and decorators in the year 1425. This suggests that the name was already well-established in the area by the early 15th century.

Another notable early reference to the name Quadri comes from the records of the Republic of Venice, where a Venetian merchant named Marco Quadri is mentioned in a trade document dated 1491. This indicates that the name had spread beyond the Lombardy region and was present in other parts of northern Italy during the Renaissance period.

In the 16th century, a famous Italian painter named Giovanni Battista Quadri (1535-1604) earned recognition for his religious works and frescoes adorning various churches in Milan and the surrounding areas. His artistic achievements likely contributed to the prestige of the surname Quadri within the Italian art community.

During the 17th century, a prominent Italian architect and engineer named Girolamo Quadri (1620-1687) was responsible for the design and construction of several notable buildings in the city of Turin, including the Church of San Filippo Neri and the Palazzo Reale.

In more recent times, the Quadri surname has been associated with notable individuals such as the Italian politician and economist Renato Quadri (1920-2008), who served as a member of the Italian Parliament and as the Minister of Industry and Commerce in the 1970s.
