Perdikoneri, Messinia

Perdikoneri (Περδικονέρι) Messinia

Perdikoneri, officially Perdikonerion and previously referred to as Podagora, Podogora or simply Agora[4], is a mountainous settlement near Kyparissia and administratively under the Municipality of Trifylia, in the Prefecture of Messinia.

Location

Perdikoneri is located approximately 9.5 kilometers southeast of Kyparissia at an altitude of 352[1] meters and is approximately 9.5 kilometers from the coast of the Ionian Sea.

History

The village has a long history. According to the official version of the Municipality of Trifylia, as well as local traditions, the oldest name of the village was Agora, as it was a commercial center that also served neighboring villages. Due to the hiking that the neighboring populations did in order to obtain their supplies, the village gradually began to be referred to as Podogora, a name that prevailed until 1927,[5] when it was renamed Perdikoneri. The original location of the village, which is reported as the location of Sfentamia, was approximately 1.5 kilometers further and opposite its current location, while the movement of the population from there to the modern location is believed to be due to the outbreak of some epidemic/disease. Various ruined residential remains remain at the original location, as well as some churches, such as Agios Nikolaos, Agios Athanasios, Agios Ioannis and Taxiarches. The newer village, according to the most prevalent version, was named Perdikoneri, probably from the water of the springs in its area, from which not only the inhabitants but also the partridges drank. The village is known by the name Agora or Podagora or Podogora in bibliographic sources-references. The settlement is also mentioned in various censuses of the Venetian Pronoites of the Serene Republic of Venice, which were made during the thirty-year period (1683/84-1715), during which the Venetians occupied the Peloponnese. Podogora (Podogora), belonged, in 1689, to the province of Arcadia (or Arcadia, i.e. the area of ​​today's Kyparissia), which was one of the 4 provinces into which the Methoni district was then divided (Phanari province, Arcadia province, Navarino province and Methoni province).[6] Podogora was annexed to the old Municipality of Kyparissia in 1835,[7][8] while it is mentioned in 1853 in the second volume of "Hellenic" by Iakovos Rizos Ragavis as a village of the Municipality of Kyparissia in the Province of Trifylia with a population of 76 inhabitants, based on the 1851 census.[9] In 1899 it was transferred from the Prefecture of Messinia and became part of the Prefecture of Trifylia,[10] for about a decade, until 1909, when it returned to the Prefecture of Messinia,[11] as a settlement of the Province of Trifylia. In 1912 the village of Podogora was detached from the old Municipality of Kyparissia and became part of the Community of Spilia, which had Spilia as its seat.[12] In 1927 the village was renamed Perdiconeri,[5] while in 1928[13] it was separated from the Community of Spilia and designated as the seat of the Community of Perdiconeri.[14] It remained the seat of the homonymous community from 1928 to 1997, when, as part of the changes that occurred in local government, through the "Kapodistrias" plan, it was subordinated to the abolished Municipality of Kyparissia,[15] until 2010. Since 2011, after the new changes of the "Kallikratis" plan, it now belongs to the new Municipality of Trifylia.[4][16] This municipality was established with the Kallikrates Program by merging the pre-existing municipalities of Aetos, Avlonos, Gargaliana, Kyparissia, Filiatra and the community of Tripyla.

Residents

The settlement, based on the 2011 census, has 212 permanent residents, who are engaged in livestock farming and various agricultural activities.

The censuses of the Pronoites of the Serene Republic of Venice, Corner (1689), Grimani (1700) Angelo Emo (perhaps 1708), the undated census mentioned in the Querini-Stampalia manuscript (perhaps 1711), are four of the various Venetian censuses, which were attempted during the thirty-year period (1683/84-1715), during which the Venetians occupied the Peloponnese. To date, only the Grimani census has been fully published, by the historian and emeritus research director of the National Hellenic Research Foundation (NHRF) Vassilis Panagiotopoulos, in his work "Population and settlements of the Peloponnese. 13th - 18th century", (1985).
