SCIARPELLETTI

Sciarpelletti has a Roman strain and one in Poggio Moiano in the Reatino, should derive from a dialect nickname originated from the hypochoristic Word chisel, which in Latium dialect becomes Scarpello, perhaps to indicate the job of stonecutty carried out by Founder, one could also hypothesize, but with much less probability a derivation from the word sciarpello, a kind of scarf with hood, decidedly more recent, while traces of these cognominizations we find at least from 1400, with Lorenzo Sciarpelloni (1453-1531), as we read in the history of Tuscany by Francesco Inghirami: ".. He learned the art of the goldsmith from Maestro Credi, born in the year 1498 by Lorenzo D'Andrea Sciarpelloni. Having placed himself together with Pietro Perugino and Leonardo da Vinci his companions and friends to the art of Colorire, under the discipline Andrea Verrocchio then famous painter.. ".
