If I were you it would follow the PASQUALE link...
I bet Pasquini is "Little PASQUALE".

On page 222 of “Our Italian Surnames,” by Joseph G. Fucilla (published 1959, reprinted 1987), the forenames Pasquale and Paschini allude to Easter. An Italian mother might give such a name to a child born on Easter day. It is akin to the Hebrew holy day "pesach" which means "paschal lamb sacrifice," according to the author Alfred J. Kolatch.Reg Niles

Pasquini is also a Portugeuse(sp?) last name, you could try that!
