Trying to ID a fig tree in Sicily

Hello Everyone,
I'm a newbie to the forum as a person posting, and by what I have read in the past, I thought it would be a great place to see if anyone could help identifying this fig tree.
I was in Sicily, in the city of Taromina. To get to this fig it was about half way up the highest mountain in that town....the figs were green outside with a slight bit of yellow on the outside when ripe and absolutely blood red inside.....its size was large and about the size of a longue d aout.....it ripened the last week in July thru the first week in August there.....the taste was a mix of a nice ripe strawberry with honey added to it.....I am hoping to go back and possibly get some cuttings in the future. But, hopefully someone might be able to help
I posted some pics I took, hopefully they can give some good info
Thank You

Looks like a very nice fig!
I can't see the leaves very well, they look mostly 3 lobed?
Hope someone recognizes it or can point you in the fig family direction.

Thank You Pino
Yea sry about the pics, I'm going to see if I have any others tomm
It looked like it was either a single leaf like the ones in the pic with the figs or a very shallow three lobed leaf

looks very nice, by the fig shape and color I would say it's similar to Stella, but the leaf shape is no where near similar to that variety. 

Possibly related to La Goccia d'Oro ???

Cdeguida4 I agree the leaf shape is Definately one that I have not seen as often

Lewi I have to say that variety is very close, I saw that fig trees.net has them for sale and the leaf pattern looks close, I think it's worth a try to order one, I'll keep y posted
