Purple (medium-size variety) artichoke from Catania (without thorns) Explanation: In general in Italy there are 2 different types of artichokes with and without thorns (see II link) In Sicily seven populations of artichokes were identified, of which three were of the spiny type ‘Spinoso di Palermo’ and four of the non-spiny type ‘Violetto di Sicilia’. A significant genetic differentiation between spiny and non-spiny types was found. http://www.researchgate.net/publication/216234672_Population... See I Link "I carciofi sono coltivati in molte varietà, distinte secondo il colore e la forma dei “capolini”: **carciofi spinosi e non spinosi** (muniti di aculei pungenti all’apice delle brattee); verdi e violetti (dal colore delle brattee), rifiorenti e non rifiorenti. Inoltre, i carciofi coltivati in Italia si possono riunire in quattro gruppi: 1) **catanesi** (comprendenti varietà non spinose, come il bianco tarantino, **il carciofo di ogni mese**, il locale di Mola) così chiamati perché hanno nel carciofo di Catania il loro rappresentante più tipico; 2) spinosi [thorny artichokes] (Sardo, di Albenga, violetto di Palermo); violetti (di Toscana, di Chioggia); romaneschi (di Campagnano, di Castellamare). Artichoke varieties. There are a lot of artichoke varieties according to the bract colours, the thorn presence and the size. In Italy we have the purple, medium-size artichokes from Chioggia or Sant'Erasmo (Venetian region) or from Tuscany or Catania (Siciy). Among the spined artichokes: a variety from Sardinia, another from Liguria and at last from Palermo (Sicily). But the well known artichoke is the big purple from Rome (Romanesco or Mammola). http://theitaliantaste.info/en/italian-ingredients/alimenti_...

Reference: slightly OT - Nemi Reference information: Nemi is famous for its wild strawberries, which are smaller and sweeter than commercially grown varieties. Nemi's strawberries are grown on the sides of the volcanic crater, which creates a microclimate that retains the warmth of the sun and provides a wind shield. Nemi conducts an annual festival of strawberries.[1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nemi#Strawberries Not sure hat you need to put any other names for the variety than the Italian ones, or even the variety of names for the artichoke varieties. http://www.pril.it/articoli/idee-brillanti/italia-doc/la-fra... |
