I am looking to find out where Pesco Antilia is. It is around Pesco della Messa, Frosolone, Macchiagodena area.
Failing that, could anyone tell me, would Pesco Antilia more likely be a name of a mountain/hill or of a family farm/small holding please?
Thanks very much.

of sure is that Pesco della Messa is a mountain at Frosolone:

Thanks baggygenes, that's a bit far to be the right place I'm afraid. Thanks very much for looking.

itīs far away south of Pesco della Messa in Campagna-area and province Salerno. i thought it should be close to Pesco della Messa - there is no connection to it.

to the theme stated in another forum about "a name of a farmhouse". this is usual in the area of the Alps like Austria, Germany, Switzerland.......in Italy like northern Province Trentino-Alto Adige, which was once austrian. not usual in Italy directly and specially not in the areas south of this northern part of Italy.

That's great - so at least I know that I am looking for a mountain/peak in the Frosolone area which helps a lot.
-
yes i think really....or possible some like a HAMLET of community or a part of that mountain.
-
if you have facebook you could join a page like http://www.facebook.com/frosolone.net and put a message on there to see if anyone knows it
-
Thank you both again for the help. I really appreciate it. I will find the Frosolone facebook page and post a message there. Fingers crossed. :)

Pesco Antilia not in the list like Pesco Della Messa:

I couldn't find anything for Pesco Antilia on the web at all. There's a face book site for Macchiagodena, so have joined that too and ordered an IGM map of the area I'm looking at.
Failing that, perhaps a small article in a local Frosolone/Macchiagodena newspaper may work.
-
I ended up ordering the maps and found it :) - it should be Pesco Autilia not Antilia and is just a little south of Pesco della Messa.

wonderful, congratulations!
what makes up only a letter for a change.
