Pietraperciata takes its name from a sandstone rock that stands out majestically for a hundred meters high and oriented EO-, suggestively perforated, as well as from alveolar structures generated by wind corrosion phenomena, also from natural cavities and from a few other (three) artificial excavations with an irregularly elliptical plan, in which it seems to recognize ancient tombs in caves heavily degraded by atmospheric agents. The area was also the scene of warfare during the Sicilian campaign of 1943. This is evidenced by splinters of bombs scattered on the ground and by the signature engraved on the rock "Muller Hugo" (German soldier).
