Historically, in this regard, the use of the name Nicora is attested since the twelfth century, both in the Diplomatic Code of medieval Lombardy - where a person with this name appears - and in the work Il tardogotico of the Milan Cathedral (by Paolo Sanvito) , in which a certain Nicorino from Vimercate is cited, the expendiser (cashier) of the Fabbrica around the end of the 14th century. In conclusion, therefore, these are the surnames of the personal names of the founders.
