AGROSTELLI

Agrostelli, very very rare, is specific to Brienza and Sant'Angelo le Fratte in the Potentino area, it should derive from a nickname originated from the hypocoristic of the Italianization of the Greek word άγρός agros (field, farm), meaning perhaps that the progenitor had been a small landowner.
