FERRAMOSCA | FERRAMOSCHE | FIERAMOSCA

Ferramosca has a strain in Foggia, but the most considerable stock is in the Lecce area at Tricase, Maglie, Matino, Lecce, Giurdignano and Aradeo, Ferramosche, absolutely rare, it would seem specific to the Perugian, Fieramosca, extremely rare, is definitely southern, should all derive , directly or through dialectal modifications, from a nickname attributed to progenitors, which were considered to be invalid and dedicated to iconic or impossible works, but also perhaps so quick to be able to catch the flies.
