The earliest known records of the name date back to the 13th century in the town of Ceccano, located in the province of Frosinone, Lazio.

One of the earliest documented mentions of the Venditti name can be found in the records of the Church of San Giovanni Battista in Amaseno, a town near Frosinone, where a certain "Petrus Venditti" is listed as a resident in the year 1298. This suggests that the name was already well-established in the area during that period.

The Venditti surname is also found in several historical documents from the 14th and 15th centuries in the regions of Abruzzo and Molise. For instance, a "Giovanni Venditti" is mentioned in a land registry from the town of Castel di Sangro in Abruzzo, dated 1387.

In the 16th century, the Venditti family had a presence in the city of Rome, where they were involved in various trades and professions. One member, Pietro Venditti (1540-1618), was a prominent merchant and banker who held a respected position in Roman society.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, the Venditti surname can be found in various parts of central and southern Italy, including the regions of Lazio, Abruzzo, Molise, and Campania. Among the notable figures from this period was Antonio Venditti (1668-1742), a lawyer and legal scholar from the town of Sora in Lazio, who published several works on civil law.
