Attilio

Attilio is a masculine given name of Italian origin. It is the Italian form of the Latin name Attilius, associated with the ancient Roman gens Attilia. The name has been used in Italy for many centuries and remains in use among Italian-speaking communities.

The feminine form Attilia exists but is uncommon in contemporary usage. In other languages the name appears in similar forms, such as Atilio in Spanish, which serves as the closest international equivalent.

In Italian culture, Attilio has been borne by a number of notable figures across arts, politics, and public life. Examples include Attilio Bertolucci (1911–2000), a poet and screenwriter; Attilio Fontana, a contemporary Italian politician who has served as president of Lombardy; and Attilio Piccirilli (1866–1949), an Italian-born sculptor who worked extensively in the United States. The name thus appears in diverse contexts, retaining a traditional and classic tone within Italian naming patterns.
