Interesting, my mother's maiden name is Zanette. Her parents came from Pinidello which is near Cordignano in Treviso/Veneto region.

I wonder if there is any common origin of the 2 surnames, or is it just spelling differences between possible dialects from region to region.

Both Zanette and Zanatta are alterations and derivations of the base surname ZANNI which appears in the Italian surname Dictionary. Thus your guess is correct in that they are along many mnay many other surnames derived from Zanni. Peter

Hi: the surnames Zanatta or Zanette, is specific of Treviso area(Veneto region), and derives from Veneto's dialectal word "Zan", that it means in Italian language "Gianni", diminutive of first name Giovanni..

When corresponding for documents it is bst to write in Italian or use form letters such as you find in www.circolocalabrese.org under research and you might also wish to enclose a self addressed envelope with a postal coupon equivalent to $5.EURO. Peter

I don't believe you'll find their records on ancestry (yet)
Most folks write directly to the comune or rent microfilm (if available) from their local Family History Center
