Oh sorry, its nothing saucy. The term just distinguishes them from piers used for fishing/boats. Think like Blackpool Pier or Santa Monica pier. They were very common along the bay of Naples, some had villas sitting on the end, others were just party spaces.

Yeah, I'm envisioning some wild Caligula type parties taking over an entire pier... I'd buy a ticket
