Anyone knows "Or gran borghese"

Hi,

i've seen on the catalogue of a french nursery a tomato name "Or gran borghese" and it is said to be an improvement of Principe Borghese, but after a quick search on the net, there is no much info and all info come from french website, which makes me dubious

amélioration de l’ancienne variété PRINCE BORGHESE, variété italienne aux fruits de la grosseur et de la forme d'un œuf, 40/60 grammes, rouge écarlate, et se terminant par une pointe. Fruits charnus pour la confection de salades, des sauces et des conserves en boîtes de tomates entières. En Italie, on arrache les pieds entiers couverts de leurs fruits et on les suspend à l'abri du froid, pour cueillir des tomates fraîches tout l'hiver. Résistances : V, F.

Fleshy fruits for making salads, sauces and canned whole tomatoes boxes. In Italy, tear whole feet covered with fruit and suspended sheltered from cold to pick fresh tomatoes all winter. resistances: V, F
