The Italian surname dictionary does not show any GAMERO as a base surname nor as a variant, derivative, alteration or abbreviation. It is imported and italianized.
The closest surname in the Italian surname dictionary is GAMALERO with its variants Gamalerio and Gamaleri which is widely distributed in Piemonte region, Liguria coming from Longobardo roots (foreign=GAMAHAL) in 642AD. The German version is GAMBARO. Its latin version is GAMALARIUS. =Peter=
