PEZZA | PEZZALI | PEZZANI | PEZZI | PEZZINI | PEZZO | PEZZOLA | PEZZOLI | PEZZOLO | PEZZONI | PEZZOTTA | PEZZOTTI

Pezza has a stock in the Piacenza area, one in the Perugian, Terni and near Rieti and one in the Roman and Latin dialects, Pezzali is typical of the Lombard, Emilian, especially Brescia and Mantua and Parma areas, Pezzani has a small stock in Trentino, which it could derive from an apheretic form of the term ampezzo, but the most important stock is in Parma and in Parma to Sissa, Sorbolo, Salsomaggiore Terme and Fidenza, Pezzi is widespread in the north but is particularly concentrated in Romagna, Pezzini seems to have three nuclei, one in the province of Lucca, one between Mantua and Verona and one between Milan and Bergamo and Sondri, Pezzo would seem to be specific to Verona with a stock also in Calabria, Pezzola has a strain between Brescia and Cremona, one between Macerata and Piceno and one between Viterbo and Roman, Pezzoli has a strong Lombard lineage, a Bolognese one and a probable one in the Macerata area, Pezzolo has a Genoese and a Rovigoto lineage, they could derive from toponyms such as Pezzolo Valle Uzzone (CN) or similar, Pezzoni is distributed along the strip from the Pavia area, through the Milanese and Bergamo areas to Brescia, Pezzotta has a large stock in the Bergamo area, especially in Scanzorosciate and Nembro and a small one between Molise and Theatine, Pezzotti should have an important nucleus between Bergamo and Brescia and one between Rome and Reatino, in some cases these last two surnames could derive from the Valtellina term pezott (sort of blanket made of remnants, whose use dates back to the Middle Ages and even before), but, in the vast majority of cases , derive, directly or through hypocoristic forms from alterations of apheretic forms of medieval names such as Opezzo, in turn derived from the Germanic medieval name Obizo, Obizonis, of which we have an example in a Carta finis et transactionis of 1157 in Milan: "Year dominice incarnationis thousandth cent quinquagesimo septimo, tertio decimo die mensis martii, fifth index. Presentia bonorum hominum quorum appointment infra leguntur finem and transactionem fecit Obizo, filius quondam Anselmi Advocates, by consensum Prandoboni sibi given tutor in hoc negotio ab Arderico iudice et misso women Federici inperatoris, et by datam licentiam suprascripti missi, Ariprando, filio Petri Vicecomitis, et Ianuario, filio Guilitionis qui dicitur de Moetia ...
