The photo below is of landraces used primarily for salads (as mentioned earlier the oval-shaped cherries are not traditional but the spherical ones are).

The tomato below is from one of the famous open markets in Palermo, the capital of Sicily. It seems similar to "Rosso Sicilian" sold in the U.S.

It is a little hard to see but below are plants of a traditional variety in Petrali Sottana in the Madonie mountains of Palermo province. Of what I understand this variety is very low-growing (as in the photo) and produces medium size fruit for sauce and drying. Traditionally it is not watered or staked and is very drought-tolerant.

Below are not photos that I took but they are of the same variety, called "Siccagno."

Those are beautiful tomatoes ! Would you like to share some seed? I have several varieties of Heirloom tomato seed. Checkout my list.

*THUD*
They look incredible! Not to mention I have I thing for Italian food and tomato sauces...

Those are lovely. Do you trade seed? Have a web source I can purchase from? My mother's family is from Sicily. It'd be fun to grow some tomatoes from there.

This is an older post so I'm going to comment. The OP sounds like an experienced grower and gives excellent information. Your best bet for this sauce and paste variety is probably (link):

Rosso Sicilian Tomato

though if I were you I'd grow Costoluto Fiorentino instead, a nice ribbed (costoluto) variety grown supposedly in Florence but in many other places. The OP mentions a key point here about the tomatoes he photographed in Sicily. There are many types and no real variety, though a "Costoluto Catanese" was available a few years ago making quite claim on heirlooms (500 years old from Italy), seed from Sicily, I don't confide in that claim but you can email Reimer seeds and see if they still can sell it to you, but it is considered pretty identical to the other Costoluto varieties (see below).

You are dealing with what is called a landrace which means a spectrum of tomato mutts supposedly adapted to Sicilian growing conditions. From a practical perspective it is also a marketing gimmick, since basically any tomato that looks like the ones grown in the pictures above can be called Sicilian tomatoes because of the origin (where grown) and nobody growing elsewhere can have Sicilian tomatoes, because that is the European protectionist rules. If you go into it further though, it gets more beaurocratic and the local government is probably distributing the seeds to their growers making those the only official Sicilian seeds. Considering you are in Wisconsin, Costoluto Genovense or Costoluto Fiorentino might be best to get some authentic Italian ribbed heirlooms, but the Rosso Sicilian one I gave has a direct link to Sicily in the sense it was at one time grown there, but I'm rather sure it would be illegal to sell that seed in Europe due to having the word Sicilian in the name being protected, and that's probably why the Italian seed sites are not selling any "Sicilian" named varieties.
