A little history

 

U mio paese d'Auccià ...
The origins of the name "Auccià" in French "Ucciani" are confused. "Auccià" could come from the Corsican "ochju d'acqua" meaning "eye of water," the Source.
In the fifth century AD. AD, the first village Auccià existed.
In the eighth century, to fight against the Saracen incursions regular part of residents of the Pieve Celavu, current township Celavo-Mezzana, abandoned their homes and settled in the interior. They took refuge in three small villages of the valley Meligrossi, Tassu and MARIACCIA, on the heights of the current village Ucciani.

The residents of Tassu were regarded as nobles, the people of MARIACCIA held the power of the bishopric. We can also see today in the chestnut the ruins of the church "San Michele" dedicated to St. Michael they built.
The residents of the hamlets they help each other against attacks, but people in the hamlet of Melgrossi fanned the rivalry. The residents of Tassu wanted the entire submission of the residents of the hamlet of MARIACCIA, including the religious power was as powerful as their power, discord broke out ...

This conflict ended the day the residents of three villages weak and disunited saw get another population came from the neighboring valley, the valley Prunelli. At that point, another fight ensued against them but in vain and the three hamlets were abandoned. The "newcomers" were fixed at a place called Pogghjolu, the villagers of tassu departed the hamlet of Tuschini and those Melgrossi Tavaco returned to whence they came. Some residents of the hamlet MARIACCIA went to Vero and others settled permanently in the hamlet of Crucoli, cradle of our ancestors.

Over the years, hostilities between the residents of hamlets pacified, and thus the village was created Auccià ...
