PICARRETA | PICCARRETA

Picarreta, almost unique, is probably due to a mistaken transcription of Piccarreta, which is specific to Corato in the Bari area, it could derive from a Greek Grecanic form of the village of Picara on the Amalfi coast, but it is also possible a derivation from a dialect nickname of Spanish origin with the meaning of tramp, vagabond.
