We find traces of these surnames in Tirano in the Sondri area, where in 1726 Degano of the community of Tirano is a certain Giacomo Cometti of Baruffini, son of a previous Dean of the city always named Giacomo Cometti. additions provided by Luciano Comelli The surname Comelli of Friulian stock is the result of the Italianization (rather ancient) of the Friulian Comel, moreover still existing especially in the area of Gorizia (ex Austro-Hungarian, where for obvious historical reasons there is the highest concentration of non-Italianized Friulian surnames). The Friulian Comel seems to derive, more than from the name Giacomo rather from toponymic elements, see in particular the area of the Comelico (in modern Friulian Comieli or Cumieli, but in Ladin Comiel) and the Carnian toponym (also close) of Comeglians (in Friulian Comelians).
