"Originally a Hamlet"
This was originally only a hamlet called Piccius. The first written evidence of this place dates from 1051. In 1049 the Abbey of Santa Maria was built here, that gave the place some fame. It was a rich, tranquil place for centuries until a fire destroyed the abbey and monastery as well as documents and works that were testimony of the historic identity of this small center. A museum was recently built here to fill the void, that tries to recapture at least some of the roots of this small town. Some materials from the old monastery were rescued from the fire and there also some pieces from other buildings. Picciano can be reached by route 16, and then route 161 from Cappelle. Turn right for Collecorvino and then continue on to Picciano.
