Help[Facts] Re: Italian Surname
in reply to a message by Barbara Capello
The Italian word "capello" literally means "hair", although as an occupational surname most frequently found in the south of Italy, "Capello" refers to a maker and seller of hats or cloaks. The Italian word "cappello" (note the double "p") means "hat". There are regions of Italy which still maintain their own dialect, as Italy for many centuries was a country of separate kingdoms.
As an Italian, you should be familiar with cappelletti soup. The cappelletti pasta found in the soup is in the shape of "little hats" (which is what "cappelletti" means).

Your information was what I was looking for, thanks a bunch. Now if I can find the family crest or coat of arms, would really be happy. Thanks again. Barb
