BOSSI

Bossi, present practically all over Italy, even if the areas of choice are Piedmont and Lombardy, the origin could be from the Germanic name Boso, although one could also hypothesize a connection with the characteristics of the vegetation of the place of origin .

MED, which would be for Benignus Bossius Episcopus Mediolanensis and thus determines the coat of arms of San Benigno Bossi, who was archbishop of Milan from 465 to 472. In the Chapter Archive of S. Vittore in Varese, a deed of sale dating back to June is preserved 1173, with which Stefano, Corbella and Lanfranco Bossii de Aciate (Azzate (VA)) sell a vineyard. additions provided by Giovanni Vezzelli Lurati indicates the surname Bossi, widespread in the Lombardy area, as a result of Jacobossi, by Jacopo (Giacomo).
