Map of Belgium showing where the Marucci arms are recorded
The Marucci arms were recorded in Brabant, c. 1737.
Brabant lay at the heart of the Low Countries, where the trade routes met. Its towns were wealthy and its landowners many, and both kinds of family kept arms, which is why the region is so heavily represented.
This is where the arms were entered in the register. Families often moved to other parts of the country, so the same name can turn up in more than one region.

How Arms Worked in Belgium
In Belgium, a coat of arms is considered personal property that is passed down through the male line to legitimate descendants. Families often use the same shield design across generations to show their shared heritage. If a branch of the family wants to change the design, they must apply for an official update to their specific version of the arms.
Granting authority
The Conseil héraldique is the official body that regulates and approves all coats of arms in Belgium.
How they got arms
Families obtain their coats of arms through formal royal grants or by confirming their historical right to use existing designs.
Where arms were recorded
All approved coats of arms are officially recorded in the public registers of the Conseil héraldique since 1844.

Origin & History of the Marucci Family in Belgium
The Marucci family name traces its roots to the cultural landscape of Europe, with documented evidence placing early members in the region of Brabant by 1737. During this period, Brabant was a bustling center of trade and agriculture, serving as a crossroads for families moving across borders. The name itself follows linguistic patterns common to Southern European naming traditions, suggesting that the family likely migrated from areas where such surnames were established before settling into the social fabric of the Low Countries. As these early ancestors integrated into their new community, they participated in the local economy and contributed to the growth of the region. Their presence in official records from the eighteenth century highlights a history of stability and adaptation as the family established its legacy in a new environment.
