This surname came from ADRIA a town near BARI in Southern Italy.
Very difficult to explain: now this surname has disappeared in Bari area. There not more tna 5 Broschi on the telephone director, they live by MILANO (Milan).This surname could come from an old nickname? Not possible to say.

I was wondering about a connection between the surnames Brosco/Broschi, and the surnames Brusco/Bruschi, the latter pair having some tentative explanations.
