Cesina is a
toponym of
Langobard origin that is used in
southern Italy , especially in
Campania . It derives from the
Latin word caesi and the
Latin verb caedere, to which the
Langobard suffix -na is added.
History
Lombard possessions in Italy: The Lombard Kingdom (
Neustria ,
Austria and Tuscia) and the Lombard Duchies of Spoleto and Benevento
The concept was introduced with the creation of the
Duchy of Benevento by the
Lombards around
590 AD . It defined a
wooded area designated for woodcutting. These are precisely defined in the first tome of Antiquitates Italicae Medii Aevi, year
1005 AD , column 183 written by
Ludovico Antonio Muratori in 1738–43. It was then further defined as Silva cædua (
Latin ) in the
Du Cange , et al., Glossarium mediae et infimae Latinitatis, Niort: L. Favre, 1883–1887 (10 vol.).
[1] These wooded areas were often
deforested to make room for urban settlements and cultivated countryside.
