CASTELLO delle FEMMINE
The name Castello delle Femmine (Women's castle) is a tribute to a place near the Castle of Caiazzo where once an aristocratic mansion stood - traces of which still remain. It hosted young women destined to become courtesans for local feudal lords after an adequate training in "ars amandi" - "the art of love".

AMBRUCO
The name Ambruco is a linguistic contamination of "vitis labrusca" - wild vine. There is a place near Castel Campagnano of the same name, where centuries-old wild vines used to grow. Local peasants considered them almost holy because of their age.

CENTOMOGGIA
In this area, landed property used to be extremely divided. So a property measuring 100 moggia, i.e. some 30 ha, was such a rarity that this place, located between Caiazzo and Castel Campagnano, was named "Centomoggia" - "Hundred Moggia".
