I believe that Pentangelli in Italian translates to 5 angels (pent) ( angelli ).

Some help from our Italian piasans would be appreciated!

WELCOME to the boards Marco!

Yes the name does mean Five Angels, just like you say Don Cardi. However, this is in Latin, not Italian.

Five in italian is cinque.
Allthough I'm not sure if Angeli is a latin word.
