Meaning of Tuzzeo (toot-TZEH-yoh): not known
also appears as Tuzeo and Zuzzeo in Mussomeli, and as Zuzzè in Vallelunga.

The surname Tuzzeo (variations: Tuzeo, Zuzzeo) was common in Mussomeli and may have originated there. One family by that name emigrated from Mussomeli in the 1700s to the nearby town of Vallelunga Pratameno, where the surname was modified to Zuzzè.
The given names 'Salvadore' and 'Salvatore' were used interchangeably, and the second surname Faragone was also spelled Faraone.
