FERLENGA | FERLENGHI

Ferlenga, very rare, would seem to be typical of the area between Mantua and Brescia, it has a stock in Castiglione delle Stiviere, Volta Mantovana and Monzambano in Mantua and in Desenzano sul Garda in Brescia, Ferlenghi has a stock in Cremona and in the Cremona area boundaries with the Piacenza area, they should derive from the medieval Latin term ferlengus or ferlingus derived in turn from the name of the German ferling coin, equivalent to a fourth part of money or Roman axis, quartino (see FERLINI), hypothesizing then that the progenitor could be a laborer, but the ferlingus was also a unit of measurement of the land: ".. Ferlingus terrae continet 32 acras ...", according to others instead corresponded to 10 acres of land, in these cases we should then assume a very different position family social, because it owns a decent agricultural fund.
