About the name Plinio
Plinio is the Italian and Spanish form of Plinius, the name of an ancient Roman family whose original meaning is uncertain. Its fame rests on two writers. Pliny the Elder, Gaius Plinius Secundus, compiled the Natural History, an encyclopedic survey of the ancient world, and died while observing the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. His nephew and adopted son, Pliny the Younger, left a collection of letters that includes an eyewitness account of that eruption. In Italy the name is linked with learning and with the town of Como, the family’s home.
