Romano: Rome's Enduring Surname

from $85.00

What if your family name carried the echo of an empire?

Romano: Rome’s Enduring Surname begins in the shadow of the Colosseum, where the roar of crowds once shook the Eternal City, and follows a name that has traveled across centuries. “Romano” may have started simply as “from Rome,” but beneath this humble origin lies a sweeping legacy—surviving the fall of the empire, flourishing in medieval guilds and Renaissance courts, and crossing oceans with emigrants in search of new beginnings. This is more than a surname—it is a living memory of resilience, ingenuity, and the enduring spirit of Italy.

Step into vivid historical moments. Watch a mason carve his mark into stone as Rome rises from ruins. Peer over the shoulder of a Renaissance scholar preserving the wisdom of antiquity. Stand on the docks of Naples as families clutch their belongings and sail toward America, Argentina, or Australia. Through these immersive vignettes, the Romano name comes alive—shaped by generations who honored, struggled, and persevered, leaving a mark on every place they touched.

Even without a personal connection to the name, this book offers a rich, engaging journey into how one surname can embody identity, courage, and belonging. It transforms history into something you can feel—a bridge between past and present, a thread linking ordinary lives to extraordinary legacy.

For those wishing to make it uniquely their own, Ancestrio’s personalization service allows you to add up to three family chapters, include your own photographs, and even create a custom cover and title. The result is a one-of-a-kind heirloom that blends the sweeping history of the Romano name with your family’s personal story.

Perfect for weddings, anniversaries, reunions, or as a treasured keepsake, Romano: Rome’s Enduring Surname is both an exploration of Italy’s timeless legacy and a celebration of your family’s enduring story. Open these pages, uncover the journey, and add your own chapter to the living history of the Romano name.
