The history of the last name Sandria

The surname SANDRIA originated in northern Italy, specifically in the regions of Piedmont and Lombardy, during the late medieval period around the 13th century. It is believed to have derived from the Italian word "sandri," which referred to a type of fine, silk fabric produced in the city of Alessandria in Piedmont. This suggests that the name may have originally been associated with individuals involved in the silk trade or textile industry.

One of the earliest recorded mentions of the SANDRIA surname can be found in historical documents from the city of Genoa, dating back to the 14th century. These records include references to several families bearing the name SANDRIA, indicating their presence in the region during that time.

In the 15th century, a prominent figure named Giovanni SANDRIA (1412-1479) was a respected merchant and banker in the city of Milan. His successful business ventures and involvement in local affairs contributed to the family's wealth and influence in the region.

During the Renaissance period, the SANDRIA name gained further recognition through the artistic achievements of Leonardo SANDRIA (1490-1558), a renowned painter and sculptor from Pavia. His works, which often depicted religious themes, can still be found in various churches and museums across northern Italy.

In the 17th century, a branch of the SANDRIA family settled in the Republic of Venice, where they became influential members of the local nobility. One notable figure from this period was Marcantonio SANDRIA (1623-1691), a distinguished diplomat and ambassador who represented the Venetian Republic in various European courts.

The SANDRIA surname also has connections to several place names in northern Italy, such as the town of Sandria in the province of Alessandria, and the village of Sandria di Montiglio in the Piedmont region. These locations likely derived their names from the SANDRIA family or were associated with the silk trade in the area.

Throughout history, the SANDRIA surname has been carried by numerous individuals, including writers, artists, politicians, and military figures. Some notable examples include the Italian novelist Giovanna SANDRIA (1801-1878), the Venetian painter Girolamo SANDRIA (1720-1792), and General Emilio SANDRIA (1856-1931), who served in the Italian Army during World War I.
