The nickname of the inhabitants of Guagnano is "tuttu sennu" that  means "all common sense." This expression is used to underline the lack of common sense of the people of Guagnano that are thought to be very naïve. A popular story  tells that  a farmer of Guagnano was walking in the open country when he saw some men  lifting enormous rocks. He stopped and told them that if they needed some common sense they could go to Guagnano and buy it at a low price.
