Thanks again for clarifying the differences between the two Valles (valleys) and the picture of the Fico too Sergio. We appreciate your posts very much. I do not have the Valle Calda so can't compare that one to any of the others. Maybe some else on this forum that has one can chime in on it? I will report on what I have on this subject later in the year or when I'm able to get fruit from the Valle Negra. What I've noticed that my RdB from Bass has white stripes with cracks when they are ripe and ready to be picked.

Picture of Vallecalda/Piombinese, by me shot in Sardinia Isle, 4 Sept. 2014.
The typical shape in left fruit.
Forniti (true-fig), brebas are equal but larger.  
 

Nice picture of the Vallecalda/Piombinese Sergio . Thanks for posting that! I might put that on my wish list too.

D'all Osso is (correctly) Dall'Osso. The ( ') is a shorting after of "dallo"  = of the.
The complete translation is (from Italian): "Of the bone".
Picture (hand paint) of fico Dall'Osso, 
Pomona Italiana, of Giorgio Gallesio, edited: 1817-1839.    

Blastophaga, you have a wealth of great information on the proper names and the historical facts. Like your nice paintings of the old world figs. Please keep feeding us with your great knowledge and experience from Europe on all the special finds that you can share here! Thank you very much!

Hystorical names for Vallecalda, (by me attributed a lot of year ago, in absence of better informations)
- Piombinese
- Corbo
- Abicone
- San Piero

"Hystorical" means dates (1817-1839).

Bumping for Vladsko
