The ancient name of the place was <strong>Sperlinga or Sperlonga<\/strong>, whose etymology refers to the meaning of cave, which is a very peculiar feature of this territory.<\/p>\n<p>Already in the medieval period, the village was named Brancaleone. This name was most likely adopted on account of the visit of a mile, Andrea Brancaleone, who was in these lands. In 1300, <strong>the presence of a castle<\/strong> and walls that fortified the entire village was attested.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The abandonment of the village<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The complete abandonment of the village is \u201crecent\u201d, and according to historical records it took place in 1958 when the last family decided to follow the example of their fellow citizens and move to the new neighboring town, Razza. The decision, however, also came due to political choices, aiming at a stable economy more than, in fact, the well-being and identity of each of the inhabitants.<\/p>\n<p>For many its houses, alleys, and memories remained in their hearts, although they have been abandoned in a short time and never (re)found again.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The last inhabitant to leave the village<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Gianni Carteri was the &#8220;boy who closed the little town\u201d; is considered the last inhabitant to leave the village, and he always wanted to go back, even though he had a torn childhood.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Traces of a past<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Today, among the ruins, one can still see traces of a glorious past, but also everyday moments. There are testimonies of a happy life in the various alleys of the village that can only be noticed by the curious footsteps of travelers who, with great respect and silence, relive the past and the stories that, day by day, seek to promote and revive the history of this splendid place in its essence.<\/p>\n<div class=\"banner-posts\" style=\"line-height: 1.3em; min-height: 380px; margin: 40px auto; padding: 30px 25px; width: 90%; border: #f3f3f3 1px solid; box-shadow: 2px 6px 7px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.15); color: #45776b; font-family: Poppins; font-size: 18px;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px;\"><b><span style=\"color: #a03e44;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-33989\" src=\"http:\/\/www.viajandoparaacalabria.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/VIAJANDO-PARA-A-CALABRIA-img-banner-consultoria.jpg\" alt=\"VIAJANDO PARA A CALABRIA - img banner consultoria\" width=\"187\" height=\"330\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yourtraveltocalabria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/VIAJANDO-PARA-A-CALABRIA-img-banner-consultoria.jpg 187w, https:\/\/www.yourtraveltocalabria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/VIAJANDO-PARA-A-CALABRIA-img-banner-consultoria-159x280.jpg 159w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 187px) 100vw, 187px\" \/>30 MINUTES OF TRAVEL ADVICE FOR <em>FREE<\/em>!<\/span><\/b><br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #a03e44;\">One of the benefits from Viajando para It\u00e1lia<\/span><br \/><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #a03e44;\">I give my readers 30 minutes of travel advice for free.
