CAMPANELLA | CAMPANELLI | CAMPANELLO | CAMPANIELLI | CAMPANIELLO

Campanella is widespread throughout Italy, the most important strains are in Sicily, Puglia and Campania, Campanelli is specific to the area between the low Brescia and upper Crema, Campanello would seem to be Sicilian from Grammichele in the Catania area, Campanielli is almost unique, it should be due to an incorrect transcription of Campaniello, which has a Campania stock at Villa di Briano and San Marcellino in the Caserta and Torre del Greco in the Neapolitan dialect, and an Apulian stock in the Foggia area at Foggia, Cerignola and Vieste and at Barletta in the Bari area, should all derive from nicknames, also dialectal, originated from the characteristics of the progenitor or because his job involved the use of bells or bells or for the presence of a bell near his house, but it is also very likely a derivation from toponyms such as Campanella in the Vicenza area , in the Salerno and Ragusa areas, Campanelle in the Macerata area, or similar, a noteworthy figure was the Calabrian philosopher Tommaso Campan she (1568-1639).
