Torricellans use the word "comune" and municipio' in several contexts, each seeming to have a somewhat different equivalent in English. Following is our best understanding of the various contexts and our Americanized English equivalent.

The municipality of Torricella is composed of Torricella and a number of other named districts. There are thirty of these districts, see below. Some of these areas are called "frazione', others 'contrada', 'localita', and 'rione'. To our knowledge, these are not independent in any sense. They may have arisen from smaller settlements which over time were incorporated into the 'comune'. We are not yet clear on the meaning or origin of these words so we will (temporarily?) call them 'hamlets' in English.
