They came from the North- Trentino and their ethnicity was listed as Austrian as was common for Northern Italians at the time. Then I found out about a "Don" Lorenzo Guetti and a street Via Don Guetti in TN Italy. He was a priest who is known as the father of the Trentino farmers co-operative movement. He was born in Vigo Lomaso in 1847. He was the first of 13 brothers (siblings). I think my grandfather was named after him and they should be related. How many Guetti's were there in the North at that time? Does anyone have any information on this? Follow Ups: Re: Guetti family history Edward Guetti   Posted at: 07/03/03 (0 replies)
