Elena
“Elena is the Italian and Spanish form of Helen, from the Greek Helene — possibly from helene meaning "torch" or related to helios meaning "sun", or from a pre-Greek word. Helen of Troy gave the name immortal literary status; in Italy and Spain, Saint Helena (Elena), mother of Emperor Constantine, gave it Christian prestige. It is one of the most widespread feminine names across the Romance world.”
Fiorenzo
“Fiorenzo is an Italian masculine given name, an Italian form derived from the Latin Florentius — meaning "blooming, flourishing, prosperous", from flos (flower). It is closely related to Florence (Firenze) itself — the city's name shares the same Latin root. Saint Florentius was a companion of Saint Martin of Tours. The name is predominantly Tuscan and represents an older, more literary form than the modern Fiorino.”
Alberto
“Alberto is the Italian and Spanish masculine form of Albert, from the Old High German Adalbert composed of adal meaning "noble" and beraht meaning "bright, famous" — thus "nobly bright" or "illustrious noble". It was a name of Germanic aristocracy that spread across Europe with the Carolingian and later Holy Roman Empire traditions. In Italy and Spain, Alberto has been a classic masculine name since the medieval period.”
Angela
“Angela is a feminine given name derived from the Latin angelus, from the Greek angelos meaning "messenger" or "angel". The name entered the Romance languages through the Christian tradition, where angels were God's divine messengers. Saint Angela Merici, founder of the Ursuline order in 16th-century Italy, was one of the name's most influential bearers.”

It is one of the most widespread Italian feminine names, used from the north to the south of the peninsula. Carla became internationally associated with the former French First Lady Carla Bruni, Italian-born singer and model.”
Giorgio
“Giorgio is the Italian masculine form of George, from the Greek Georgios meaning "farmer, earth-worker" — derived from ge (earth) and ergon (work).

The name is associated with Venetian civic identity through the island and church of San Giorgio Maggiore, and with artists including Giorgio Vasari and Giorgio de Chirico.”
