Local oil is particularly good. Pettineo probably derives from a familiar surname Pettini. First information about origins of the village date back to the XII century and it belonged to Manfredi Maletti. In the course of the centuries it was ruled by different feudatories: by Ventimiglias in the XIII and XV centuries and by Valguaneras and again by Ventimiglias who built a Castle.
