Origin notes
Origin and meaning
The surname Torri is found in several Italian regions, mainly Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna, with additional presence in the Genoese area, upper Tuscany, and Lazio. It generally originates from geographical features related to places characterized by towers. Unlike Torre, which is widespread across Italy, Torri signifies multiple distinct family groups. The related surname Torriani is specifically tied to the Milan area and has Lombard origins, stemming from Mendrisio where a Lombard Fara was established. The Torriani also settled in Como while maintaining their main base in Mendrisio. They played significant roles in ecclesiastical and political spheres as bishops, podestà, and lords of Melzo and Milan, aligned with the Guelph faction.
