Cazzola

The two hypotheses on the origin of the surname Cazzola[1][2] are the topographical and the professional.

Alternatively, the founder of the family could have had a nickname related to his work as a manufacturer or a seller of pans (in Italian, casseruola), or a bricklayer and be named for the cazzuola or cazzola (trowel).

[3] The surname Cazzola is popular in Northern Italy and is very common in the province of Vicenza (especially in the municipalities of Malo, Schio, Vicenza, Isola Vicentina, Arzignano, Monticello, Valdagno, Grumolo delle Abbadesse, Caldogno and Costabissara).

[1][4] From Italian emigration to North America, this surname is also present in the United States primarily in New York, Florida and Texas.

[4][5] Notable Cazzola's include Alfredo (businessman), Clementina (theater actress), Fabio (ex-footballer), Gabriele (director and television writer), Giuliano (economist and politician), Paola (motorcyclist), Pier Giorgio (sprinter), Pietro (entrepreneur), Umberto (footballer) and Riccardo (footballer), Walter (computer scientist).
