Description

Sergio Carlini from Genoa, Italy introduced this fig. Although some have claimed it is the same as Negronne. The leafs shapes of Rubado are similar to Negronne but the leaves have subtle differences. Said to have Smith as it's closest description in taste but still more complicated. Rubado is a very rough, quite inedible when it is not well mature. It is one of the oldest figs we know of.

From Sergio Carlini:

Communication to my "fig friends".
The fig that I spread with the name of "Rubado" or "Cuore", from an examination of the genetic makeup, turns out to be different from the Tuscan Rubado.
From my further investigation, a similar variety called Verdepasso appeared in documents from the 1700s.
I will now consider the variety with the second name as a precaution.
I invite you to do the same.

Giorgio Gallesio coined the Cuore, which means "heart-shaped," in 1817 for the fig already known as Rubado in Liguria.
