A very informative site
http://www.laciociaria.it/

Frosinone is the province in the Regione del Lazio.
It's area o territory is called Ciociaria
Many assume this name was given by the traditional "shoes" they wore: CIOCIE
But the reality is another

Sacrilege

Everywere (people) dine while standing
the old little table with tablecloth
That seemed a sacred altar
its no longer used
The continuos hurrying has abolished it.
