CALANCA | CALANCHI

Calanca has a small strain between Varese and Milan, which probably derives from the name of Val Calanca. currently in Switzerland, the most important stock in Mirandola, Modena, San Felice sul Panaro, Medolla and Soliera in the Modena area and in Bologna and a stock in Graffignano and Civitella d'Agliano in the Viterbo area and in Rome, Calanchi is specific to Bologna and Spilamberto in the Modena area, they should derive from the fact that the founders came from areas of gullies (cliffs, erosion grooves produced in clayey or marly soils typical for example on the slopes of the Emilian Apennines), or by names of places such as the Hill, of the Calanca between Pistoia and Modena.
