Malvasia, sorry I got it wrong. I studied Italian for a number of years, I've been to Italy lots of times, yet I've never come across the word agnolo, not even in the large dictionary I have. Is "agnolo" still used in modern Italian ?

I've seen that too. If he signed his name one way I would say we just use that.
