Terrone
in the 18th century, included in the so-called Campania Felix. Terrone ( ; plural , feminine ) is an epithet of the Italian language with which the inhabitants of Northern and Central Italy depreciatively indicate the inhabitants of Southern Italy. The term certainly originates from the word (Italian for "land"), with developments that are not always clear, and was perhaps linked in the past by the denominations of southern areas such as the Terra di Lavoro (in Campania) or the Terra di Bari and the Terra d'Otranto (in Apulia). The word was recorded for the first time in 1950 by Bruno Migliorini, as an appendix to Alfredo Panzini's Dizionario moderno ("Modern Dictionary") in 1950. Ultimately, it is a derogatory and racist term meaning "people from the dirt".
