Question:

Villani family tree?

I'm tring to look up my family tree.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Need more informations 'cause Villani is a pan-Italian last name. I can only explain to you from what it derives. It's very usual 'cause it derives from an attribute with whom Roman people called people not living in a city (Urbs) but in a Villa. The Villa was a farm or a little rural group of house around a master house where lived the noble or the 'patricius'. It's for that the master house's named Villa and Villani (people of a Villa, Villani is the plural form of Villano, male), their inhabitants. Another thing. Today Villani is a last name but a soft but offensive word too. 'Cause the farmers were rude, the word 'villano' brought the meaning of uncivilized and impolite person. So be careful! Ciao.
