I'm curious as to the root extraction of Pizani. I'm a pizanti. My roots go back to Spain, with the family leaving because of the Inqusistion, then to the island of Rhodes and then here to the states. We are Sephardic (Spanish) Jews.

Hi,
I have an old data about the pizanti / pizante surnames in Turkey by the city telphone book in 1973-78 of istanbul city.
Once up on a time, I was searching the old books in istabul
I found that old telephone book and I've started to search my surname , " pizan ". And I found my family phone numbers but also the other surnames pizanti / pizante . I blieve that
it's the same surname , just because of differences of pronaunsation ( te = ti ) But I did not buy that book, May be
Turkish telephone company web site helps you to search.
Here is the link, http://www.ttrehber.gov.tr/ . . good luck ..

Moscovici means literally, "Son from Moscow". That was my grandmother's maiden name.
