The following names are taken from a list of members of the Societas Sancti Ioannis Baptiste de Taurino, the Society of Saint John the Baptist in Turin. The statues of the society were recordedin 1389, and the following year an appendix was added listing the names of the members.

The names are all recorded in Latin and so don't necessarily reflect the spoken Italian forms in use at the time. Turin is the capital of the Piedmont region, where Piemontese was the spoken dialect.
