In Piana degli Ossi there is an archaeological site where it is possible to admire six kilns which in Roman times were used to produce lime. It is assumed that they were built around the 2nd century BC.

The gloomy toponym perhaps derives from the whitish stones that farmers once found scattered there, which to them looked like human bones, but in reality were the remains of stones burned in the furnaces by the Romans to make lime.
