Looking for the Casali di San Ciro, Vico Equense NA

[Apples]

My Great granfather was born in Casali di San Ciro, Vico Equense.

I have looked at the Vico Equense website and have found that 'i Casali' are the small hamlets in the hills around Vico Equense.

I have read through the information about the hamlets and looked on internet maps but cannot find a hamlet called San Ciro.

I am wondering if it is no longer there. I tried emailing the Tourist Office in Vico Equense but did not get a reply.

Does anyone know how I could get more info?

I see that Vico Equense has a pair of Patron Saints, San Ciro and San Giovanni.

Perhaps Casali di San Ciro was simply the area surrounding a church or cathederal of the same name?

I thought about that too but the family tradition is that my great grandfather lived in the mountains. - although my family traditions rarely seem to be true!

Also the church of San Ciro is right in the centre I am not sure why it would be recorded as a separate hamlet?

Does anyone know if the area was originally separate from the rest of the town?
