Gizzi and Baldassarra Familys + More

[MarcoG]

Ciao

I'm new here on here i dont really know like the age bracket of people on here but im 20 years old. Im just wondering if anybody knows anything about these familys, like coat of arms, famous history facts, roots..etc

I searched a bunch of stuff online about each names and pretty much only found out things about the Gizzi name (my fathers last name) like it has a Coat of Arms, Cardinal Tommaso Pasquale Gizzi, and its a variation of the name Guzzo which was originated in Catania, Sicily.

Baldassarra (my mothers last name) i barely found anything but a Coat of Arms that i can barely see because its so small and the site wants me to basically pay for it, i found very little information about this last name. I also was researching and found that it originated in Ferrara, Emilia-Romagna.

I live and was born in Toronto, Canada and both of my parents were too. My whole family is Italian, my grandparents on both sides were actually all born and raised in Frosinone, Lazio (Sora) and same for their parents and their parents' parents..etc

I also have other last names that i found out are in me as well from talking to my parents, i know theres way more names in me but this what i found out so far. I'll list them here:

Palleschi (my dad's mother's last name)
Savona (my mom's mother's last name)
Corsetti (my dad's father's mother's last name)
Luongo (my mom's father's mother's last name)
DeSantis (my dad's mother's, mother's last name)
Castellucci (my mom's mother's, mother's last name
Mattacchione (my dad's mother's, mother's, mother's last name)

I'd also love to find relatives that have ANY of these last names of mine or if anybody knows ANYTHING about these names please share. Would be cool i think. So if you know anything please leave a message. Thank you

Also my nonno Pio Gizzi (my dad's father) was born in Ceccano, Lazio, and my other nonno Domenic Baldassarra (my mom's father) was born in San Rocco, Lazio. My other 2 nonna's (their wives) Emma Gizzi-Palleschi and Loretta Baldassarra-Savona were born in Sora, Lazio.

Here is the Gizzi Coat of Arms I found it also comes in different styles, meaning the way everything is stylized like the helmet and the "ribbon-like" design, but same colors and symbols. It would also be great if anybody could tell me what the colors and symbols actually represent, like the dog with the 2 trees and the golden eagle. Thanks.

Also my nonno Pio Gizzi (my dad's father) was born in Ceccano, Lazio.

I live in Sora and there is a Register of the Population that would tell you lots about the family. It is not available on line and neither is the 1921 census by family.
