Orate pro anima eius.", we find a trace of these surnames in Padua in 1500, when it appears that a certain Marcus Antonius Ottelius, Utinensis taught at the local University Schola de Pandectis. additions provided by Gabriella Bernardi Alvise Ottelio son of Zuanne, of the Bassano popular family, born in 1465, came to Udine shortly after 1500, from the first sources found, the family established their residence in the village of S.Lucia.
