PALENA

Palena has a stock in Theatine in Atessa, Cupello, Villa Santa Maria and San Salvo, and one, more consistent in the Foggia area in Manfredonia, Monte Sant'Angelo, Vieste and Foggia, should derive from the name of the city of Palena in the Theatine, city on whose name should derive from the people of the Paleni, the Palhnoi mentioned by Diodoro Siculo, a population that later merged into the Peligni, according to another hypothesis derives from the name of a mount of Theatine dedicated to the Roman god Iovis Palenus, in the city of Palena there was, in epoch late medieval, a thriving market for wool and woolen fabrics, so it is likely that with this surname ancient wool traders were mentioned, traces of this surname have existed since 1200, an example we find in the deeds of foundation of the Convent of Santa Chiara in Sulmona, where we find the founder Floresenda da Palena quoted.
