Which is the first name? Which is last?

Where does this guy's first name end and last name start? Lol^^

His name's Ugolino di Monte Santa Maria...
Does that mean he was born in Monte Santa Maria?

Ugolino is his first name. It's Italian.
The surname di Monte Santa Maria translates into 'of Monte Santa Maria', or 'of the Mount of Saint Mary'.
It does not mean that he was born there. It shows that, at some time in history, his ancestors adopted such a surname to show they originated from Monte Santa Maria.

More likely that his family came from Monte di Santa Maria, and they have adopted this as a surname. It is quite possible that your friend Ugolino comes from there, as well, but his mother could have been out of town when he arrived.

Ugolino di Monte is his first name.
So the answer to your question is, it ends with the letter "e" for Monte (mountain).

His last name is Santa Maria (Saint Mary)
So the answer to your question is Santa.
