ZAPPALORTI | ZAPPALORTO

Zappalorti is decidedly Tuscan dell'aretino and Marciano della Chiana in particular, Zappalorto in addition to the Tuscan strain in Prato, Sovicille and Sinalunga in Siena and Foiano della Chiana Nell'aretino, has a small Veneto strain, especially in Povegliano in Treviso , and a Abruzzo in Chieti, should both derive from nicknames, probably derogatory, that combine the concept of knowing only zappare, attributed to the ancestor, the reductor of the small size of a vegetable garden.
