Gurro is said to be populated by the descendants of Scottish soldiers.

Gurro is proud of its Scottish links, many Scottish flags fly around the village. Many residents claim their surnames are Italian translations of Scottish surnames, and the town also has a Scottish museum. Many quirks of the village's dialect are said to be from Gaelic.
