Circio is a lively wind from Francesco Berlinghieri's world map of 1482! Sometimes called Circius (Latin) or Thraskius (Greek), Circio is one of the mistrals, blowing from the north-west. Windheads are often found on old maps. They each have a specific name and characteristics, and were important for navigation as well as agriculture.
