 The village is located on a steep hill, almost 500 meters above sea level.The name of the village has been mistakenly interpreted according to a paretimology that connects it with Latin "piretus", 'pear (tree) orchard'.This is evidently a paretymology, deriving, instead, the toponym from the Indo-European root "*br- / *bar-", with the meaning of 'rock', 'stone', 'hill', 'mountain', 'slope', = Latin "pǎrǐēs", 'mountain face', 'rock wall'.
