a nickname given to people with dark skin. The surname Neri is now widespread throughout the peninsula, but especially in Tuscany
Characteristics : people who have the surname Neri are very selective and fussy, they take care of details. They do not leave situations to "chance", they are always well organized and tidy. For this reason they do not tolerate chaos and superficial work.
The surname Neri originates from the surname of Nieri, a diminutive used in the past in Tuscany to refer to names such as Ranieri, Guarniero, Soldaniero etc. However, it cannot be ruled out that it was also a nickname given to dark-skinned people. The surname Neri today is widespread throughout the peninsula, but especially in Tuscany; in central Italy Nerini is especially frequent, while in the areas of Bologna and Imola Neretti is widespread. The surname Neri was very frequent among the patrician families of the 14th century and among these that of an important jurist, Manfredino Neri di Carpi, stands out. He played a decisive role in the reform of some city statutes. Among the famous people we remember the painter Dario Neri, who passed away in 1958, the scholar Ferdinando Neri, saint Filippo Neri, of the 16th century, the economist Pompeo Neri and the sculptor, painter and architect Bartolomeo Neroni, also called Il Riccio.
