SCHENATI | SCHENATO

Schenati, practically unique, should be due to a mistaken transcription of Schenato, which is typically Veneto, Veronese, the Vicenza especially, Padua and Venetian, should derive from a nickname Veneto based on the archaic term Schenato (strutting, with a straight and rigid back), to emphasize probabilmentye a strutting attitude of the ancestor.
