Torelli -Me

[Comte Arnau]

Torelli seems to focus all along the spine of Italy, but with a peak in Emilia-Romagna, specially in Reggio.

I would say it doesn't really have an equivalent in the other Romance languages, though. A very Italian surname, in other words.

One of my French friends has the surname ''Martineau''. :3
