Note 1 — XVII OLD MORANO

This is all wrong, of course. And equally wrong is the derivation from morus, a mulberry—abundant as these trees are. And more wrong still, if possible, is that which is drawn from a saying of the mysterious Oenotrians—that useful tribe—who, wandering in search of homesteads across these regions and observing their beauty, are supposed to have remarked: Hic moremur—here let us stay! Morano (strange to say) is simply the Roman Muranum.
