Well, I didn't want to disappoint you... <br />I agree with your analysis about the Carosello Tondo Barese (so called because from Bari, Puglia). <br />In my experience, I noticed that some varieties of carosellos stop producing when they are in the middle of their life, but they restart producing j.sparwasserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11297981957544621601noreply@blogger.com
