The origin of the picnìc
The etymology of the term derives, through the English word picnic, from the compound term piquenique, che in francese abbina piquer (prendere, rubacchiare, spilluzzicare) all’arcaico nique (piccola cosa di poco valore).
The term seems to have spread since the end of the seventeenth century and, initially, it referred to the frugality of the event, performed outside the rites imposed by lunch, consisting of a few simple foods taken directly from the kitchen.

We must go back to the eighteenth century, or in the period when the nobility used to have a following of servants who set tables in the open air, following hunting parties that saw the prey being prepared at the moment.
