Luzzatto or Luzzatti was a family of Italian-Jewish Talmudic scholars, whose genealogy can be traced back to the first half of the sixteenth century. According to a tradition communicated by S. D. Luzzatto, the family descends from a German Jew who immigrated into Italy from the province of Lausitz, and who was named after his native place ("Lausatia", "Lausiatus" = "Luzzatto"). Wikipedia
