Your reaction once you cut them open and compared the inside is absolutely hysterical. There has to be, or coming soon, an easy way to get a genetic type of report on these plants. I have compared two figs from the same plant that had several differences. I guess same thing with tomatoes and other fruits. I think science has to tell us.
From the catalog of Belfiore nursery (Tuscany, Italy): Salame - Bifera variety typical of the north, in particular of the Oltrepò Pavia area. The fruit is white and elongated both in the flower and in the stem, with bright red pulp. Both productions are excellent.
couldnt the differents we are see here just be in ground VS potted....... i know it maybe doesnt account for the different leaf pattern but we both know how different they can be from potted VS in ground

The fun part is that we don't have all the answers, Eddie. I love that about fig trees.

They both are excellent figs. Verdolino and strains of Verdolino are found all over Northern Italy. Especially the Lake Garda area.
Wonderful always waiting on your videos!!!
Glad you like them!
Now we need a battle of the Italian cured meat figs with Salame vs. Proscuitto Unk.! XD
So it would seem that if you have one of them, you probably don't need the other. Even if they aren't technically the same variety.
Probably. We'll see if anything changes this year.

They are different strains. A more recent theory after visiting Italy is parthenogenesis: www.figboss.com/post/my-best-fig-varieties-as-of-2022
Salame is more conical😅
Looks like more pronounced vertical ridges as well.
