Improta is specific to Naples, with excellent presences also in Somma Vesuviana, San Giorgio a Cremano, Portici, Casoria, Torre del Greco, Pozzuoli, Casalnuovo di Napoli, Volla, Giugliano di Campania, Afragola, Cercola, Torre Annunziata, Ercolano, Quarto and Acerra in the Neapolitan, and Teverola, Aversa, Casaluce, Caserta and Cervino in the Caserta area, Improto, almost unique, is almost certainly due to an error of transcription of the previous one. additions provided by Stefano Ferrazzi Improta should be a variant of the surname Prota, also more typically Neapolitan (with significant presences also in the Salerno, the Foggia and the Potentino): the initial Im-, in fact, should reflect a prosthesis of the prefix In-, very common in the surnames of Southern Italy - the transformation of -n- into -m- is due to the juxtaposition with the consonant -p-, as happens for example in the names Giampaolo and Giampiero.
