From the first half of the 14th century the use of the double surname (Piscicello Zurolo or Zurulo) became widespread for the reorganization of the city seats1, wanted by Robert of Anjou (1309-1343), and the Zurolo or Zurulo or Zurlo (or Zullo), also called Zuroli, officially joined the noble Seat of Capuana, in the Piscicelli district, a locality in the province of Tekirdağin Turkey, located south-east of Thrace (from the Greek Θράκη; from the Latin Thracia, former province of the Roman Empire; historical region of the Balkan peninsula divided between Greece and Turkey largely, and Bulgaria for a short stretch), and precisely on the long route of the flat Roman road, between Adrianople and Byzantium-Constantinople. On the other hand, the term Tzurulum derives from the Hunno-Turkish word saola which means to monitor, indicating a fortified village - Tzurulum ingressus castrum muniebat, so much so that in 441 AD, the year of the reign of Theodosius II, emperor of the East from 408 to 450, is often cited in ancient maps and documentary sources of Byzantine historiography (see Procopius of Caesarea, DE ÆDIFICIS, LibroIV), as one of the most important and strategic outposts of the Eastern Roman Empire. There were numerous fortified works in the 4th century, designed and built to stem the advances of the barbarian populations who repeatedly devastated these borderlands. Of the fortified city of Çorlu (formerly Tzurulumo Tzurulos) there still remain traces of its imposing Roman and Byzantine walls (see), remodeled several times until the time of the Palaeologus, the last dynasty of Byzantium which ruled the empire from 1258 to 1453. This family, also to distinguish itself from the original branch, gave itself the double surname of Piscicello Zurolo which it replaced, around the 13th century, definitively - with the descendants of a certain Giovanni Giovannello Piscicello known as Zurolo.
Traces of these surnames are found in a will from 1369: In nomine domini nostri Iesu Christi Anno a nativitate eiusdem millesimo trecentesimo sexagesimo nono Regnante autem Serenissima domina nostra domina Johanna dei gratia Hierusalem et Sicilie Regina ducatus Apulie Principatus Capue Provincie et forcalquerij ac Pedemontis Comitissa.
