PIEVANI | PIEVANO | PLEBANI | PLEVANI | PLEVANO

Pievani is typical of Bergamo, Pievano, absolutely rare, it would seem Parma, Plebani is typical of the Bergamo area, Brescia, with a small stock also in the Marche, Plevani, absolutely rare, it would seem to have a strain in the Brescia and one in Abruzzo, Plevano is characteristic of Pescara, of Città Sant'Angelo, Montesilvano and Pescara, they should all derive from the term pievano or plebano, that is, the priest responsible for a parish, and would indicate a direct family relationship either indirectly with the priest himself, less likely a reference to the inhabitants of a parish or plebeians, because all indistinctly belonged to some pieve, therefore it would not have had some sense to identify someone with such a generic term and attributable however also to all the others.
