📖 Sobre Leone
Leone é a forma italiana de Leo e Leon, do latim e grego leon significando 'leão' -- símbolo de força, nobreza e autoridade divina. Profundamente enraizado na tradição eclesiástica italiana, foi usado por vários papas, mais famosamente o Papa Leão I (Leone Magno), que conteve Átila, o Huno, com pura autoridade moral. O nome também ressoa através de figuras como o diretor Sergio Leone e o intelectual Leone Ginzburg. Hoje vive um discreto renascimento na Itália como alternativa distinta a Leo.
