Piedmont tomato
I am intrigued by the name - is it originally from Italy or named after Piedmont region in northwestern Italy?

Tania, above is the description of Piedmont from the NCSU Cultivar list. There are "piedmont" areas in many states and also in North Carolina. It's just a geographic descriptive word.
