Est profecto quaedam villa vocata Superclo, in Sancti Valentini Castello translata, quam to Tederamo et Palumbo germanis fliis quondam Reparati legaliter ad profectum Piscariensis Ecclesiae triginta solidis emit. .. ", but it is also possible that many strains derive from names of localities such as Roccapalumbia (PA), Cessapalombo (MC), Colpalombo (PG), Santa Palomba (RM) and many others.
