The people of Scorrano have two nicknames ‘black feet’ and ‘pumpkins’. The people of Scorrano used to avoid shoes when picking olives so their feet became black. The second nickname refers to the agriculture of the village because the people of Scorrano were specializes in pumpkin growing. There were two kinds of pumpkins, one for animal feeding and one for men. The nickname also means that the heads of the people are as empty as the pumpkins.
