Early Origins of the Imperio family

The surname Imperio was first found in Naples, (Italian: Napoli, Latin: Neapolis), ancient capital of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies in southern Italy; it is the chief city of the province of Naples. It shares with Instanbul the claim to be the most beautiful city in Europe. Naples has 237 Churches and 57 Chapels. The National Museum and other galleries contain riches in art and artifacts.
