Parnigoni is typical of Cantello (VA), Pernigoni has a stock in Caravaggio (BG) and one in Sant`Angelo Lodigiano (LO), they should derive from a dialectal nickname originated from the Lombard word pernigon (small starna). additions provided by Andrea Parnigoni following research carried out at the State Archives in Como resulted in the presence of people with the name "de Pernigono" in the municipality of Rodero (CO) in 1446. After an alternation with the name "de Vispera" the surname is consolidated in Parnigoni (and in some cases Pernigoni). My family branch moved from Rodero to the nearby Gaggiolo, a hamlet of Cantello (VA) at the end of the 18th century. Following emigrations that took place mainly in the second half of the 1800s, the surname Parnigoni is present in the USA (granite industry, Barre-Vermont), Austria, Switzerland and Canada until the beginning of the 1900s. The origin of the surname could date back to a toponym or a nickname derived from the Lombard equivalent to "perniciotto".
