Funny you should mention that variety. It's the one I grow. See
http://www.ingegnoli.it/PDesc.asp?IDP=830
POMODORO - COSTOLUTO GENOVESE - SELEZIONE VALENTE
DA INSALATA, DA TAVOLA E DA MERCATO.Pianta vigorosa da coltivarsi con
sostegni sia all’aperto sia in serra dove dà risultati sorprendenti per la
sua fruttificazione abbondante e precoce. Frutti di perfetto color rosso,
costati, con polpa dolce, carnosa e profumata. Eccellente sia per insalata
sia per conserve. Buona resistenza alle comuni malattie dei pomodori.
Indeterminata: la pianta necessita di sostegni.
Cod:283

There are slight differences in strains but I believe this is the one I
market. Not ribbed at all. Possible it could be Costoluto Fiorentino tho. I
redug and reamended all six tomato beds and still got dozens of hardy
volunteers from last season.
