Hi everyone,

I was wondering if there are any very nice fig collections/nurseries in Italy?

Are you looking for organizations/foundations that are maintaining/restoring Italian fig collections or somewhere to buy Italian fig trees?
 

Pomona Onlus: great. Vivai Belfiore: Not. Masseria Ficazzana: good.

There is a priest somewhere in Reggio Calabria has a collection of old breeds of Italian livestock  and fruit trees.  My nephew knows him so I'll try to find out more.  When my daughter visited there 10 years ago she was only interested in his animals, specifically the spectacular Girgantana / Agrigento  goats. She didnt even look at the fruits.  Now that I remember this, I'm eager to find out about his trees.

Treasures in Catholic Monasteries ;)

I have bought cuttings from here. :

Thanks so much for all the great resources! I was looking for all of the above. My main intention was to learn more about any reputable fig collectors there.

Luke,

   Your link goes to a Google document, but nowhere from there. Who is Lidia and how do we reach her?

Sorry for the late reply, here was the item I bought eBay: ITALIAN FIG TREE 3 CUTTINGS,variety will follow http://bit.ly/1f2UFS7 Hope this helps Musillid. Edit: my variety was Gentile,
