LO | LOPERGOLO | PERGOLO

Lopergolo is specific to the Materano, Miglionico, Matera and Grottole, Lo Pergolo, practically unique, should be due to an incorrect transcription of the previous one, which should be of toponymic origins and derive from locality names as Pergola may have been , a fraction of Marsico Nuovo in the Potentino area, or other similar ones, but it is also possible to derive from a nickname based on the characteristics of the ancestor's house, perhaps characterized by the presence of a pergolon which in Greek indicated a gallery, a large windowsill.
