The following are names of households taken from a census of Rome during the pontificate of Leo X (1513-1521).
A number of households or other organizations of people were taxed in the census as well; these households were referred to by various designators, including casa 'house', Compagnia 'company', hostaria, which I believe is a cognate of or related to English 'hostel', and taverna 'tavern'. Some of the groups of people were described by a combination of the two, e.g., casa de la Compagnia... 'house of the company...'. I have organized the household names according to their substantive elements, by type.
