Spigno

Spigno is a place name in Italy associated primarily with two small municipalities and their surrounding localities. The name appears in different regions and is used to refer to historic settlements with medieval roots.

Spigno Saturnia is a comune in the Lazio region, located in the province of Latina at the foot of the Aurunci Mountains and within reach of the Gulf of Gaeta. The area has a largely rural character, combining mountain landscapes and small villages. Historic features include parish churches and remnants of feudal architecture, and the local economy is based on agriculture, small-scale tourism and services that cater to visitors exploring the nearby natural areas.

Spigno Monferrato is a comune in the Piedmont region, in the province of Alessandria, set in the rolling hills of the Monferrato area. This locality is part of a wider wine-producing and agricultural district noted for vineyards and truffle-related cuisine. Like many towns in the area, it preserves medieval urban layouts, a small historic center, religious buildings and community festivals.

The origin of the name Spigno is not definitively established and may derive from local dialects or older toponyms. Today both localities attract interest for their traditional culture, landscape settings and regional gastronomy, reflecting broader patterns of rural life in Italy.
