Vico Pancellorum, showing the inaccessibility which is causing depopulation |
The steep climb up the main street |
House number |
Cellar doorway |
A rare level piazza |
The street showing central surface drainage system - quite unusual |
In these villages, the Romanesque church comes as standard ... |
like you, we've always been intrigued by this name. I just looked it up, and what I found is: "The name Vico Pancellorum may have come from ‘panis celorum’ – heavenly bread, but more probably from a type of grass, ‘panicellum’ which grew in the area."
