Bonci is widespread in central Italy, Boncio is very rare and Umbrian, Bonzi seems to have two stocks, in the area that includes the Milanese, Bergamo and Brescia areas, and in the Bolognese area, extremely rare Bonzo would appear from Turin and Asti, all derive from the medieval name Boncius, an example of this modification is found in the Diplomatic Code of medieval Lombardy, under the year 1175, in Brescia, where, in a testimony, we read: "... Marchesium Peccorarium to guard illam silvam for Sanctum Petrum et per vicinos de Nuvolera ; et post istos vidit Bonzolum et Scaliam et alios quamplures, scilicet Walterium et Rubeum, guard similiter illam silvam per vicinos ... ". Trace of this surname we find in the list of students of the University of Perugia where, in the year 1577, a certain Mercurius Boncius appears, or in San Giovanni Bianco (BG) where in 1718 he becomes parish priest of the local church of San Gallo a certain Don Vittorio Bonzi.
