The history of the last name Quarello

The surname Quarello has its roots in Northern Italy, particularly in the Piedmont region, and dates back to the late medieval period. It is believed to have originated from a place name, derived from the Latin word "quadrellus," meaning a small square or four-sided area.

One of the earliest documented references to the name Quarello can be found in the archives of the town of Asti, dating back to the 13th century. This record mentions a family with the surname Quarello residing in the area, suggesting that the name was already well-established by that time.

In the 14th century, the name Quarello appears in various legal documents and property records in the towns of Chieri and Moncalieri, both located in the Piedmont region. This further solidifies the association of the name with this particular area of Northern Italy.

During the Renaissance period, the Quarello family gained prominence, with several notable individuals bearing this surname. One such figure was Giacomo Quarello (1435-1511), a renowned painter and fresco artist who contributed to the decoration of numerous churches and palaces in Turin and the surrounding areas.

Another prominent Quarello was Giovanni Battista Quarello (1570-1644), a military leader who fought in the Thirty Years' War and later served as the governor of the city of Vercelli. His military exploits and leadership during this turbulent period earned him a place in the historical records of the time.

In the 18th century, the name Quarello made its way beyond the borders of Italy. Francesco Quarello (1725-1798), a merchant and explorer, ventured to the Americas and established trade routes between Italy and the Caribbean. His travels and business ventures contributed to the spread of the surname across the Atlantic.

As the centuries progressed, the Quarello family continued to make its mark in various fields. Notable figures include Giuseppe Quarello (1810-1885), a renowned architect who designed several landmarks in Turin, and Maria Quarello (1875-1957), a pioneering educator who founded several schools for underprivileged children in the Piedmont region.

While the name Quarello has its origins in Northern Italy, it has since spread to other parts of the world, carried by immigrants and descendants of the original Quarello families. However, its deep-rooted connection to the Piedmont region remains a significant part of its historical legacy.
