PICANI | PICANO

Picani, practically unique should be due to a transcription error by Picano which is specific to the area that includes the provinces of Latina, Frosinone and Caserta, of Cassino (FR), Formia (LT), Itri (LT) and Sessa Aurunca ( CE) in particular, could derive from the toponym Casino Pica (FR), but it is also possible that they derive from the Latin cognomen Picanus, which we find for example in Punica of Silius Italicus: "... una spes anima tantusque pependerat ardor ac ueluti, summo uenator densa Picano cum lustra exagitat spissisque cubilibus atram ... ".
