Il nome<\/strong><\/p>\n

Le interpretazioni etimologiche del toponimo Pettorano sono state diverse: secondo alcuni deriverebbe da pettorale, per la forma a petto di corazza assunta dall\u2019insieme urbanistico; secondo altri da pettorata, termine dialettale con cui si indica una ripida salita, per designare in questo caso il dirupo che dalla Valle del Gizio sale fino al Piano delle Cinquemiglia; altri lo spiegano come derivato dal sostantivo greco petra,-as (=pietra, roccia) per indicare la natura rocciosa del sito; altri infine da Pictorianus, nome di un pagus romano legato al gentilizio Pictorius.<\/p>\n

La storia<\/strong><\/p>\n

1093, compare negli atti per la prima volta il \u201ccastellu qui Pectorianu bocatur\u201d.
\nXII sec., con i Normanni il castello \u00e8 gi\u00e0 una consolidata realt\u00e0 economica e politica, sede di un feudo che si estende dalla valle del Gizio verso il Piano delle Cinquemiglia e al Sangro, a capo del quale \u00e8 Oddone della famiglia dei conti del Molise.
\n1229, l\u2019esercito di Papa Gregorio IX caccia il duca di Spoleto dalla Marca, assedia Sulmona e conquista il castello di Pettorano; dopo questo episodio, Federico II tenta di riportare la situazione sotto controllo nominando titolare del feudo il figlio Federico.
\n1269, Oderisio de Ponte dona il feudo alla figlia Giovanna che sposa il figlio di Amiel de Courbain.
\n1310, il feudo \u00e8 trasmesso ai Cantelmo, probabili discendenti dei reali di Scozia, venuti in Italia al seguito di Carlo I D\u2019Angi\u00f2, e rimane loro fino al 1750; i principali interventi edilizi ed urbanistici realizzati a Pettorano sono opera di Fabrizio Cantelmo (1611-1658); di quel periodo sopravvivono le mura di cinta, 5 delle 6 porte di accesso, numerosi edifici civili e religiosi.
\n1706, un terremoto procura ingenti danni al paese.
\n1750, ai Cantelmo succedono i Montemiletto, che tengono il feudo fino all\u2019abolizione del regime feudale nel 1806.
\nXX sec. il borgo \u00e8 interessato dal fenomeno dell\u2019emigrazione, prima transoceanica verso le Americhe, poi verso l\u2019Europa e il Nord Italia.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Do not miss” tab_id=”1480496820077-2b27c1ff-e93b”][vc_column_text]The panorama is one of the most beautiful in Abruzzo (in ancient times these areas had fascinated Ovid in his \u201cAmores\u201d). Here in Pettorano, you will look around and think of all the life that used to pulsate in the borgo, while wandering aimlessly through the many small streets, the rue<\/em>, the characteristic descending streets, that make their way down to the city walls, winding among stairways, courtyards, old buildings with walls often chipped and crumbling. The old cobblestone streets, the Cantelmo family\u2019s coats of arms faded by time, the Baroque portals and the inscriptions on the fa\u00e7ades, the stone of the ancient houses, the line of the city walls, and the mountain that envelops the town like a pearl in a shell: once you\u2019ll visit Pettorano you will never forget it. The borgo took on its present day shape in the late Middle Ages, when the circuit of walls was erected with six gates, five of which can still be visited: Porta San Nicola (above the arch a 17th century fresco shows St. Margaret holding up the borgo in her left hand), Porta Cencia, Porta San Marco, Porta del Mulino (which gives access to the industrial archeology park, composed of the remains of mills built by the Cantelmo family along the Gizio river) and Porta Santa Margherita. There are many important buildings within the walls, most renovated after the 1706 earthquake, such as the Mother Church, reopened for worship in 1728. Among the religious buildings, worthy of a visit are the small Church of San Nicola outside the walls, already existing in 1112, and the Church of the Madonna della Libera, from which the rue<\/em> depart, \u00a0leading to the river valley and passing through interesting architectural stratifications. The other churches, San Rocco, San Giovanni and Sant\u2019Antonio, retain little of their original structure. The imposing remains of the Cantelmo Castle, today restored, watched over the borgo during the long period of abandon after the castle no longer served for defense and for control purposes. The pentagonal tower that still soars above Pettorano was the core of the defense system, around which the walls with their six gates and the two remaining circular towers were erected. The Ducal Palace was the other domain of the Cantelmo\u2019s, their private residence, divided into three wings around a square court, with the fourth side open to the valley. The inner courtyard (now Piazza Zannelli) has a beautiful fountain. Lastly, many fine buildings that evoke the richness of a bygone era: Palazzo De Stephanis, the fa\u00e7ade of which is a triumph of Rococo style; Palazzo Croce, which preserves inside the only fragment found in the West of the Edict of Diocletian (301 AD); Palazzo Giuliani, another important building of the 18th century, and Palazzo Vitto-Massei.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=”Local products and dishes” tab_id=”1480496816178-4ed93fff-7757″][vc_column_text]Until the 1950s, polenta<\/em> (corn meal mush) was the only dish consumed by all those people of Pettorano who passed long periods away from home digging coal with billhooks and axes. For these humble colliers, polenta flavored with just a bit of herring, was their breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There are many famous local dishes such as Polenta rognosa<\/em>, always cooked in a copper cauldron and cut into slices with a string. Other typical dishes of the area are mugnoli, cazzarielli, gnocchetti<\/em> made with flour and water.<\/p>\n
