Itinerary - Giovanni Giuseppe Piccini | Tricentenary + 1725/2025

On November 12, 1661, Gio Gioseppe Piccini was born in the district of Nona (now a hamlet of the municipality of Vilminore di Scalve), where he was baptized in the Parish Church of the Nativity of Mary, served by parish priest Giovanni Silli. In the 1666 census, the village was called Annona, a toponym whose probable Latin origin refers to the presence, on site, of a supply warehouse intended for workers and laborers from the nearby Manina mines. In this context, the Piccini family was part of the Neighborhood Association of Nona, a district that at the time had about a hundred residents.
