Nice tree! From what I can find, a town called "Pezze di Greco" [GPS 40.812643, 17.413026] had a festival called "Sagra del Fiorone" that went from June 7 to June 18. http://parcodellavigna.com/2014/06/06/pezze-di-greco-e-la-sua-sagra-del-fiorone/ there is also a Facebook page, but it seems it is not up to date https://www.facebook.com/pages/Sagra-del-Fiorone-Pezze-di-Greco/132430660104140

You need to see the fig germplasm of Paolo Belloni at Pomona Onlus, google it. __________________ Zone 7b, Queens, New York

I would look for perhaps the only mature Dall'Osso tree in the world. __________________ Frank Tallahassee, FL Zone 8b North Florida Figs
