Pasi has at least two nuclei, an important one between Ravenna and Forlì and one in the Verona area, Pasin is typically Venetian, especially from Vicenza and Treviso, Pasinetti is decidedly Lombard, from Bergamo and Brescia, Pasini is very common in the Varese belt in Pesaro, along the via Emilia, Pasino seems to be specific to Alexandria and Alexandria, they should all derive, directly or through simple or complex hypocoristic forms or by contraction, from a dialectal modification of the medieval name Pacinus of which we have an example in this paper of 1451 in Lodi: "...
