Welcome! The Rigato figs look delicious as do many others. I think my favorite Rigatos are the Rossa A and B. Just when I said my collection is complete...

Benvenuto al forum, Viaggiatore. 

I am personally tickled pink to have a fellow Italian (born) member posting on Italian figs. Each and every fig in the database looks incredibly appetizing.

What part of Italy are you from?

Which figs are you personally growing, if any? 

Looking forward to hearing much more from you.

Ci sentiamo  presto..

Hi Viaggiatore,

        Wow, looking at that web site was making my mouth water. Thanks for showing us. My friends grandson was living in Italy this summer playing professional baseball on a team named Rovigo. They made it to the championship series only lost there. He will play the next level higher next year. I tried to get him to send me cutting from diffferent towns that he played in, but he was nervous and did not want to ask people. Maybe next year. Welcome

Thanks to all !!
It is an honor for me to write in this forum
in Italy there aren't specific forums for figs.

I tell you something about me:
I live in Monselice al small town  in the northeast of Italy 
near Venice: about 40 miles, and near to Rovigo (about 15 miles)
USDA area is the  8 b
I am a collector of rare fruits.
I am a member of this no-profit organization: http://www.coplfr.org/
The headquarters of my organization is in France near Marseille.
And this is a rare italian fig:



I have this fig tree but it is very small
Quote

WE have talked about this fig on the forum before because of its odd shape and interior.


What do you think of it? Taste, Flavor?
Quote

Unfortunately I have not eaten this fig tree.
I think in the coming years I will be able to send grafts in America but I do not know well the phyto sanitary rules in your country...

This italian nursery sell this fig, this is the catalog of the nursery:

the shape of the fruit of the fig tree is not stable and changes quite...
Figs are included in the catalog from the earliest to the later.
I know that the owner of the nursery has a private collection of figs.
Quote


His name is Rigato,
Fig = fico (italian) 

This fig  is located in southern Italy, it is rare to find this fig tree.
it has two annual fructification.
you can see this tree in the collection of this bed and breakfast:
This bed and breakfast sell only fruits ( not tree of figs)

Thank you!

Thank you for the link to the Italian nursery.  Some delicious looking fruit especially the figs.  Some beautiful looking fruit especially Dattero.

Living in Italy, what do you believe, in your opinion to be the BEST Italian fig for white and black?
Quote

I do not have a favorite fig .

I have a friend who collects late figs, which usually eats in the Christmas season in a climate 8 b their names are:
fig "Tardive des Vannes"  'Chatwyia', 'De La Gota De Mel', 'Espagnole Tardive', 'Hivernenca', 'Natalino', 'Nataline', 'Ravin de Calce', 'San français', 'Tardif de Feliceto', 'Tardios', 'Tardive de Menton' "Cavaliere", 
"Buzzone nero", "Neruccio d'Elba" "Brogiotto nero" "Brogiotto nero Romano" "Brogiotto bianco" ecc.
Quote

Thanks- I'm looking for that Brogiotto Nero Romano. Only because its my last name.
Quote

I have a friend who collect dwarf fig, their name are:

Goutte d'Or, Dalmatie, Pastilière, Black Ischia, Digredo ou Portugal 80

There are also early fig such as:
'Brunswick', 'Grise de la Saint-Jean','Bécane', 'Ronde de Bordeaux', 'Pastilière', " Monaco".

The people says that the best black fig is "Brogiotto nero"
but I don't know... and this is the photo
Quote

Bl Ischia, Ronde, and Pastiliere are considered very good figs here in America.


I have The Brogiotto Nero but it has not fruited for me yet. Only 1 year old.

I have a tree just named Nero but the fruit was more brown than purple or black. Still good though.
Quote

I don't know the fig "Nero".

Nero in italian  means black
There are some different Brogiotto : Black = Nero and  White = bianco
Quote

Probably a Shortened name given in America to an Italian Fig
