Cesina is a toponym of Langobard origin that is used in southern Italy, especially in Campania. It derives from the Latin word caesi and the Latin verb caedere, to which the Langobard suffix -na is added. [1]
The concept was introduced with the creation of the Duchy of Benevento by the Lombards around 590 AD. It defined a wooded area designated for coppicing. These are precisely defined in the first tome of Antiquitates Italicae Medii Aevi, year 1005 AD, column 183 written by Ludovico Antonio Muratori in 1738–43. It was then further defined as Silva cædua (Latin) in the Du Cange, et al., Glossarium mediae et infimae Latinitatis, Niort: L. Favre, 1883–1887 (10 vol.). [2] These wooded areas were often deforested to make room for urban settlements and cultivated countryside.
