For Mussati it goes back to the proper name Mussatus (Mussatus est qui mussat), while Mussini is diminutive in -ino of Mussa or Mussius. The diffusion of these surnames in Modena, Sassuolo and Carpi, where Mussatti is also present, is noteworthy. Source: F. Violi, surnames in Modena and Modena, 1996.
