In the south area of Latium, neighbouring the Kingdom of the Two Si-
cilies, the town of Ceccano can be repeatedly traced in the trials of the Tri-
bunal of the holy consult. Between 1850 and 1857 nine trials were launched
for forest offences, in which some local peasants had been found guilty of
cutting down trees within public properties, properties of aristocratic fam-
ilies, like Colonna and Torlonia, and local church properties.10 In many cas-
es timber was used to make lime, and it is clearly mentioned in one case in
