Title: COMPLETED - Italy - Molise Region
Post by: Redd on Saturday 09 June 12 01:21 BST (UK)
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.

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.

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. :)

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.
