I arrived by bike in this small village, tackling the 225m that separate it from sea level, going up from the valley that separates it from the municipality of Montenero di Bisaccia. A good workout or a little help with assisted pedaling is recommended.

The history of Petacciato is very ancient, but at the same time of uncertain origin, as there is partially dubious documentation. In pre-Roman times it was occupied by the Frentani, a people of uncertain origin. In fact, according to some historians these descended from the Samnites, for others, however, from the Liburnians, the Sabines or the Etruscans. Its names have also been multiple: Petazio, of Greco-Roman origin, means wide-brimmed hat, Potare, which means "to drink in abundance", probably due to the presence of numerous springs in its territory, as well as Betavium, "Petacciata" , "Pitacciato" etc.
