[edit] Origin and distribution
Though the surname had been noted within the Jewish community of Rome[1] as one of the most frequently occurring in legal documents between the 16th and 19th centuries[2], all in all, relatively few people possess the surname. In Italy, it occurs mostly in the areas between Turin and Milan, with somewhat higher concentrations in Perugia.[3]. The word piccio means "little" in Lombard, likely suggesting an origin closer to Lombardy, or Ticino or Graubünden in Switzerland. Branches of the Piccio family can also be found in Argentina[4][5], Chile, France, Germany, the Philippines, and the United States.
