“Crolla” is English, it can be an Italian last name or another anglicized foreign surname

I’ve found that “Crolla” family hails from the Province of Frosinone in Lazio region, where Peter Capaldi and Jim Capaldi’s ancestors (among others) came from. There has been a huge immigration from this area to U.K.
