The Story of Fabricio
Fabricio derives from the ancient Roman family name Fabricius, itself from the Latin 'faber' meaning a craftsman who works with hard materials — a smith, carpenter, or engineer. The Fabrii were a plebeian gens (clan) in ancient Rome, and Gaius Fabricius Luscinus, a celebrated Roman consul, made the name synonymous with old Roman virtue and incorruptibility. The Italian form Fabrizio and Iberian Fabricio spread throughout Romance-language cultures.
