Meneghel

Work, word, and a table always set.

THE ORIGIN

From the Veneto to Paraná

"Meneghel" comes from the Venetian — a diminutive of Domenico, the name given to those born on Sunday, the Lord’s day. It is a countryside surname: of the land, the workshop, the market stall.

Like so many families from northern Italy, the Meneghels crossed the Atlantic looking for land to farm and a place where a surname could still mean something. They found southern Brazil.

PLACEHOLDER — the real story goes here: which town they left, what year they arrived, where they settled.
