BOVA and PECILE are italian surnames.
BOVA is calabrian (pronounciation: bohva) it comes from two villages: BOVA and BOVA MARINA (see Emidio DE FELICE - DIZIONARIO DEI COGNOMI ITALIANI)
PECILE is a name of North-East Italy, near the important cities of Udine and Trieste, and not very far from Venice about 150 kilometres.
The meaning of this surname is unknown. Toponimy?
