Pietracatella



















Well there it is, "la Morgia" as the locals call it. This is the tuff rock hill that pretty much defined Pietracatella. The name "Pietracatella" actually comes from the word "pietra" or rock and "Catella" which I am told is the name of the dog of the ruling feudal family at the time (I have to confirm). The emblem that I've always seen as a kid at our association parties is a dog standing on a sharp rock.

You can't see the village from this shot, it is all on the other side.
