Pistillo has a stock in the Roman and Latin dialects, in Campania along the coast, in the Campobasso area, in the Foggia area and above all in the from Bari, they should derive from place names such as the one mentioned in this act of 1223: "In appointments Domini quecodec year principatus domni nostra Gisulphi glorious Principis, canteen februario, ninth indictione. Ante me Romualdum iudicem coniuncti sunt Ursus et Iohannes Gastaldi strati . ... et est ibidem for latitudo passages duodecim, et ab ipsis triginta quattuor passibus vadit in part orientis usque in pistillum de monte ipsius Ursi Gastaldi. pistillum, et passi quinque ....
