Welcome, welcome;  viaggiatore971

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...

Hello VIAGGIATORE971,
  Northern Ohio also welcomes you to the fig forum.My Italian friend also welcomes you from his his home town in Calabria Italy.Great figs also from this region.Thank you for sharing your fig culture with us.
 
Ciao Phil

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..

Francesco

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

Welcome to F4F, Viaggiatore. Join the fun.
I usually browse through the site you mentioned for the fig fruit pictures.

Ciao Viaggiatore and warm welcome from Chicago area.

Welcome to the forum Viaggiatore.

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

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

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...

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?

I do not have a favorite fig .

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

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

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

I don't know the fig "Nero".

Probably a Shortened name given in America to an Italian Fig

Looked similar to this-  with a shorter neck

Below you can see some variety of fig tree that are in the south-east of Italy's,  region: Puglia 

Thanks for the link

I have a friend that lives here in Penns grove, nj and he also lives in Monasterace (Calabria) Italy. His daughter lives north east above Rome, can not remember the name of the town. Any way he says that you can not bring hardly anything back with you. He tells me they search every bag. The thing he wants to bring back are the cured meats, salami, sausage but not allowed. They allow him to bring cheese. One day i will travel with him and try to bring back fig cutting.

Dominick, Amalfi is right around the corner from Naples in the same Region of Campagna. If my two cuttings from this area turn out to be anything as good as in those pictures, I'll be glad to share.

Luke, same thing goes for my Calabrese cuttings to you.

Frank

Thanks Frank!

Hello Vaggiatore:

I have a fig called Fracazzano Nero. I received cuttings several years ago from Italy but it has not made any figs yet. Other than the photo on the ficuscarica.com site, do you know anything about this fig and would you know of another source of photos?

Thank you.

Leon 

I do not know Fracazzano nero (black), the only ones who know are the Fracazzano rosso (red)  and  bianco (white).
The black is very rare and have not found anything.

Sorry my english is not very good!

Hi Viaggiatore,

Your english is very good, i'm not to smart. Thanks again.

Good morning America!

The color is just as interesting.

Viaggiatore971 -  thanks for keeping us informed. Any chance you can tell us more about this fig like its productivity, late season or early variety, taste, tree size, one or 2 crop. It sure has an interesting "nail" like pointy & color. Wished you had a picture of the inside. Hope it is an awesome tasting rare fig.

I do not know more about the fig tree "nail" or Migliarolo.

Hello viaggiatore971

I'm going to give it a shot and ask you if you have evder heard of a fig variety that I ate from the tree while in the seaside village of Marina di Camerota, south of Salerno called in that area, VALVANESE.
If you know anything at all would love to hear about it. Thank you
Lou    NE. PA
My trees are out in this snowstorm we are having.

Hello Viggiatore,
  Is the Migliarolo fig from Calabria.My friend from Calabria Italy may have this rare fig growing in his yard.I rate the taste A++ in a September taste test.His fig looks like the picture that you show.
Have a great day
Phil from Northern Ohio

I saw on television the awful weather conditions.
I hope that America well beyond this situation well.

This is a book that describes the old and rare varieties of Italian figs.

I am very pleased to offer a picture of my first fig tree "Dall'Osso".
I read for a long period of his description in the ancient books of Gallesio of 1800, and now I have this tree in my garden with fruit characteristic and not seem real!

Looks good- I have a tree that was originally white fruit. Now after 3 years it produces purple fruit. Strange on my tree. That is what original owner said, I have not seen with my eyes.

This is the text of G. Wales of 1800:

This is one of the most interesting figs I have seen because of the 'bone'. It's bell shape also makes it fascinating.
