Picco 1 was bishop of Asculum (Ascoli, in Picenum) ("Picco, episcopus ecclesiae Scolanensis"); in 844 he was one of the Italian bishops who attended the council of Rome with Drogo 1; they had not been summoned by their metropolitans but went because they had complaints to make against pope Sergius II (Sergios 60): Lib. Pont. 104. 14.
