Our Italian Surnames covers every fact of Italian names and naming practices. It is here we discover, for example, that bussolari is Italian for compass, orsini means bear, and passalacqua stands for butterfly. In addition to sections on given names and the evolution of Italian surnames, the book contains chapters devoted to pet names, botanical names, geographical names, bird names, insect names, occupational names, and more. Our Italian Surnames is written for a popular audience, and each chapter of the book is a separate and informative unit in itself. Complete with a list of sources and an index of more than 7,500 names, Our Italian Surnames is a monument to the late Professor Fucilla's lifelong interest in the language and names of Italia.

This book is full of valuable information. Although, it is more like a textbook, I enjoy learning and liked reading it. Since it's an older book, I was hoping it would have all the surnames of my ancestors. It didn't, but was able to figure them out between the book & online. The book I received was yellow instead of the green shown.

very well researched, ....lots of info, and it all makes sense, most helpful if you a bit of the Italian language. One of the big take-aways is that the common folk did not get surnames until the 1400-1500 AD period in Italy and in Europe, unless you came from the highest level of society.

It's teaching me a lot about my ancestors and is a great help when researching online.

Doing genealogy sometimes is frustrating when you don't speak or read the language. This book has been very helpful. Thanks to this author's diligence I now can decipher names.

I found the book easy to read and the selection of names was extensive with many suggestions for further reading. A great help in my research into our family history.
