PECCI | PECCIA | PECCIO

Pecci has a stock in the Rimini area, one in Tuscany, Marche Umbria and Lazio, Peccia has a stock in Piedimonte San Germano in the frusinate area, one in the Cantalupo nel Sannio iserniese and one in the Salerno area in Olevano sul Tusciano and Battipaglia, Peccio is practically unique. should derive from the late Latin name Peccius or Pectius, we find traces of these surnames in Perugia in a will from the year 1264 where among the beneficiaries a Bentevengne Peççi is mentioned, in Vico Pisano at the end of 1200 we find in such an act such a Finus de Pecciis, in the frusinate in the year 1369 in a will: "... Sacra Reginalis Maiestas ibidem presens, de sui benignitate et gratia special signanter et expresse consensit et annuit; Item reliquit Salvatello family his unciam unam; Item reliquit domino Matheo Peccia de Ciccano unciam unam; Item reliquit animalia pecudina et vaccina omnia suo ubicumque existentia preface Monasterio ... ", and in 1400 we find them in Rome with" ... Eius tempore floruit apud Senen ses in civil and papal iure Petrus Peccius, quem ego praeceptorem habui ... ". additions provided by Giovanni Vezzelli Pecci probably derives from the Latin noble Peccius, cf. Pieces. But it could be a deformation of Opizzo. In this regard, see Fucilla, p. 127, n. 114: 'But peccia appears, chicken, peccio roman word for woodpecker (woodpecker), and peccio, paunch (big belly).' Peccia is a surname of Molise and Campania. It could derive from the ancient Italian word 'peccia' = belly.
