FILIGNANO METROPOLI
NICKNAMES
Once the nickname replaced in common speaking the name and surname; this allowed a more rapid communication and recognition of persons; in fact, many people had the same
names and surnames; use had spread to the point that even the family members forgot the original name. The person was being "re-baptized" by a series of elements that coincide with
the characteristics of the person, even if the definitions were often funny or ironic. ALL men had the nickname, vey seldom the women; in some cases it was extended to the whole
family or their group of houses.
The nicknames, their interpretation and assignment memories come from very far away; may not be exact; the cooperation of all to integrate, improve and correct would be greatly appreciated, as
well as a great help; would be a shame for them to be forgotten. They should be over a thousand, not just the hundred listed.
