PELONERO

Pelonero is typically Sicilian, from Serradifalco and San Cataldo in Nissenum and from Canicattì in the Agrigento region, it should derive from a Grecanic nickname for lancer, that is a spear-bearing soldier, from the Latin pilus (spear), in turn derived from the ancient Greek word peltòn (spear).
