PIGNATELLA | PIGNATELLI | PIGNATELLO | PIGNATIELLO

Pignatella, very rare, is specific to Torricella in the Tarantino, decidedly Pugliese Pignatelli, which seems to have a secondary stock in the Neapolitan and one in Lazio, Pignatello is characteristic of Avola in the Syracuse area, Pignatiello is very widespread in the Neapolitan, particularly in Sant ' Anastasia, but also in Pomigliano d'Arco, Naples, Somma Vesuviana, Pollena Trocchia, Volla and Massa di Somma, in Lacedonia nell'avellinese and Arpaise in Benevento, also has an important stock in Foggia, they should all derive from hypocoristic forms of pignatta term, given to indicate some relationship with the pots, or as a manufacturer, or as a seller, or because in the coat of arms appear precisely the pignatte as happens for the Pignatelli family.
