La Trasonna

La Trasonna is a characteristic street recognized as one of the narrowest streets in Italy.

The place

It measures an average of 40 cm but in the narrowest point it is 38 cm wide. It was certainly used in the past as a drain of water and over the years it has become a narrow alley called "Trasonna".

La parola “trasonna” deriva dal latino “transeunda” gerundio del verbo transeo che singifica “da attraversare”. In the Candelese dialect the Transeunda word has become corrupted into Trasonna.
