In the 13th century, there were several mentions of individuals with this surname, including a nobleman named Guglielmo Solomito, who was a prominent figure in the local community.

Another notable bearer of the Solomito name was Antonio Solomito, a renowned architect from Naples who lived in the 17th century. He was responsible for designing several churches and palaces in the Baroque style, including the Church of Santa Maria della Sanità and the Palazzo dello Spagnuolo, both of which are still standing today and are considered architectural masterpieces.
