Mondella has several very small strains, one in the north of Milan in Giussano and in Chiari in the Brescia area, one in Rome, one in Acerra in the Naples area, one in Carosino in the Taranto area and one in Lamezia Terme in the Catanzaro area. Mondelli has a Lombard stock in the Como area, in Cernobbio , Griante, Como, and in Milan, one in Rome, one in the Salerno area at Perdifumo, Casal Velino, Castellabbate and Monteforte Cilento, and one, the most consistent, in Manfredonia in the Foggia area, and in the Bari area at Sannicandro di Bari, Palo del Colle , Trani and Bari, these surnames can derive from toponyms such as Mondelli in Ossola, or from units of land measurements such as the Lombard Mondello, corresponding to four tiles, it was the land that could be plowed in a day, or the Norman mondello, unit of measurement, which corresponded to just over four kilos, used for example in Puglia, to measure olives and cereals, but can also derive from hypocoristic names of the apheresis of names like Edmondo, Raimondo or other similar ones. We only remember by way of curiosity that the surname attributed by Manzoni to Lucia dei Promessi Sposi was Mondella himself.
