The Historical Research Center Family Name History - Trabucco
The origin of the Italian surname Trabucco should be placed between the fifteenth and sixteenth century; the surname in fact is the same name of a weapon, the “trabucco” or the “blunderbuss” which was invented and used around that period. The final letter “o” of the surname denotes the plural form,illustrating the process of the surname having been passed on from one generation to the next. The “trabucco” does not exist anymore in Italian, instead is used the term “trabocchetto”, which has the same origin, plus the suffix “-etto” and which means “trap” or “pitfall”. The surname Trabucco,deriving from the name of a weapon, indicates that the original bearer was a soldier, or maybe a hunter, and the name must be considered or occupational origin. In the Middle Ages the pattern serving as a basis for fixed Italian surnames was based on paternity., the name of the father being the reference for identification, but before the advent of a structured system of surnames, a man was most conveniently identified by his occupation or trade.
As the closest variant to the surname Trabucco, the “Dizionario Storico Blasonico”, a compilation of the Italian nobility, mentions two families by the name of Trabucco, one from Sicily and one from Piedmont. The earliest references to the surnames, mention the family from Piedmont as rich landowners in the fourteenth century. Later, one Gian-Antonio di Bernardino Trabuccowas the minister for the finances of the kingdom of Savoy.
BLAZON OF ARMS: Per pale counterfessy argent and gules; overall a pale of the first; as chief or charged with an eagle displayed sable.
CREST: The eagle as in the arms.
ORIGON: Italy15

Pietro Trabucco - I couldn't find anything for him as his birth is too early and his death too late for the electronically available records for Aglie. I think we will have to look for his birth in the microfilm records. I thought I found a marriage date for he and Caterina, but the handwriting is pretty bad on that record and I can't be certain it is really them. I have a friend who reads Italian well at the FHC and will try to link in with her during her 3rd Saturday shift in January.86

Notes for Caterina Matilde (Spouse 1)
Birth date also mentioned as Jun 30;
often has "Bonom" in her name, not sure how it should be included.
Caterina Matilde Michela: The death record is later than the coverage of the electronic files (1930 vs 1945). However, I found her birth record and it has a lot of info on parents and grandparents. I'd suggest getting it translated "for real". Father looks like Giovanni Battista and mom is Maria Domenica but I can't read the surname. Record is attached.86
