Others maintain that the name Galluzzo derives from the old tavern located on the road leading to Rome from Florence (Via Cassia), whose sign was a cockerel.
In 1999 Galluzzo received the CONI National Literary Award for Il Fiorentino, a biography of Marquis Luigi Ridolfi da Verrazzano, a descendant of Giovanni da Verrazzano and Lorenzo il Magnifico, nobleman of Florence.
Giuseppe Galluzzo (born May 30, 1960 in Siderno) is an Italian professional football coach and a former player who is currently managing U.S. Castrovillari Calcio.
