Matteis - Reasoning For The Name Appearing in Other Parts of Europe

Reasoning For The Name Appearing in Other Parts of Europe

The name Matteis can be found in other parts of Europe, including Germany, England, etc. This is probably due to migration out of Italy. Matteis families in Germany most likely are a result of the Matteis families in the Piemonte region of Italy moving North. Some Matteis families can be found in England and other parts of Europe. For example, the violinist Nicola Matteis traveled to London in the early 1670s. Still, most families can be found in Italy, where the name originated.

Famous quotes containing the words reasoning, appearing, parts and/or europe:

    No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.
    Edmund Burke (1729–1797)

    Let our hearts, as subtle masters do,
    Stir up their servants to an act of rage
    And after seem to chide ‘em. This shall make
    Our purpose necessary, and not envious;
    Which so appearing to the common eyes,
    We shall be called purgers, not murderers.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    still a betrayal room for the till-death-do-us
    and yet a death, as in the unlocking of scissors
    that makes the now separate parts useless,
    even to cut each other up as we did yearly
    under the crayoned-in sun.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    The confrontation between America and Europe reveals not so much a rapprochement as a distortion, an unbridgeable rift. There isn’t just a gap between us, but a whole chasm of modernity.
    Jean Baudrillard (b. 1929)
