Palla has various strains scattered throughout Italy, one in the Belluno area and Treviso, one in the La Spezia area, Massese, Lucca and Pisa, one in the Grosseto area, Viterbo, Rome and Rieti, one very small in the Caserta area, one in the Catania area and one in the Cagliari area. it could derive from the Italianization of the Greek name Pallas, a name whose use was widespread in medieval times also in Tuscany, as we can deduce from this writing of 1432 in Florence: "..Item deliberaverunt quod notarius Works teneatur facere bullettinum relapsationis et liberationis facti ad instantiam operariorum dicte Works penes superextites Stincharum Communis Florentie de Antonio de Davizis, yes et in quantum Pallas de Davizis fideiusserit pro dicto Antonio de solvendo Works debitum ad quod dictus , actento quod ipse non tenetur pro eis. .. ". additions provided by Giuseppe Concas BALL: in Italian it means "ball" = sphere used in various types of games and sports: rubber, full and empty; leather, with inner tube; of rags and the like; of variable dimensions and weight, etc. The term comes from the Longobard "ball" and corresponds to the frank "balla". In the Sardinian language the ball is called "sa bòccia" and it is an Italianism; only the accent of the "o" changes: from acute it becomes serious. Instead "sa palla" in Sardinian Campidanese language is straw; sa pá ?? a in Logudorese, sa paža in the central dialects, and comes from the Latin "palea". The Milky Way in Campidanese is sa "'Ia de sa Palla". Appallài = give the straw to the beasts. When a person harasses us with his speeches, to make it stop we use the expression: "Ses appallendimì"! = "You're giving me the straw"! The surname is present in ancient documents of the language and history of Sardinia. Among the signatories of the Peace of Eleonora, LPDE of 1388, there is a certain, Palla Francesco, ville Macumerii, ** MACUMERII et Curatorie de Marghine de Gociano ... Macomer etc.
