VIRGOLA | VIRGOLI

Comma, absolutely very rare, it could be of central Italy, Virgoli, equally uncommon, it would seem of the Parma, with some presence in Neviano of Arduini and Traversetolo, should derive from a nickname derived from a diminutive of the word Latin Virga with the meaning of a small rod or whip, perhaps referred to the founder of the craft who did the shepherds and used a small rod in their lavro.
