Need ID help--photos

Hi,
This fig came from a man who said his brother brought it over from Sicily years ago. He did not remember the name but it is a very large tree. Too bad it poured rain the day I took the cuttings or I would have taken photos of it.

His yard is near my son's place of business that was who put me on to it. I visit him again. A very nice person.
I just took the attached photos and the photo showing the leaf is just about the same structure as the rest of them on the tree. I have the tree about three years now.
Thanks
Lou

I picked the fig shown in the post above to give you fellas a look at the inside. It should
have stayed on the tree another day or two.
Now I know it has a pink interior.

Looks like a nice variety. How was the flavor?

Final fruit may actually have a red interior.  I'd love to see a fully ripe one.

That fig is Red Sicilian,a fig similar to Sal Corleone.
Of course it was not collected in Corleone locality like Sal Corleone but it is a similar fig.

Thanks guys,
It looks like i will keep it. Herman it did need a day or two more to fully ripen.
There are quite a few at that stage so I hold off from harvesting them for a few days. I don't have a Sal C. but I have a Red Sicilian. I'll have to compare them together
