Prola, quite rare, is specific to the Eporediese and Biellese, Prolo, very very rare, is of the lower Novarese, could result from a contraction of the medieval name Perolus, a contraction of the hypochoristic of Petrus (see Proli and Peroli). Integrations provided by Ennio Prolo from the birth deeds of the XVI ° century. Of the parish archive of my country (Fara Novarese) I found that the surname was written Perolus and then Perolo but that coexisted with the same Prolo. I thought it was an autochthonous surname but then I had news of a prolo Pietro di Cesena became noble for merit in 1768. I also learned of a baptism by Maria Caterina Prolo at Gamalera, Alessandria, on 22 May 1756, daughter of Giovanni Maria Prolo and Isabella Nane.
