Ancient Sicilian family, of clear and ancestral virtue, which has spread over the centuries in various regions of Italy and the world. According to authoritative genealogists, the origin of this cognomination should be sought in a modification of the Latin term "mortellarius" (= myrtle collector), probably motivated by the fact that that had been the activity of the progenitors; we also remember that in ancient times myrtle, consecrated to Venus, was widely used to flavor and preserve food and wine. Some authors claim to have this family descend from the noble Sicilian family, of Milanese origin, Morello ou Mortello, who owned the Fragiovanni saline and the fief of Trabonello and which was illustrated by a: a Giovanni, judge of the Praetorian court in Palermo in 1711 -12, of appellations in 1717-18, of the Consistory in 1724, of the Civil Court in 1730-31-32; a Giuseppe, praetorian judge of Palermo in 1733-34
