There are various types of melons (Cucumis melo): some are netted on the surface and belong to the reticulatus group; the cantalupensis, on the other hand, are smooth and have a flattened shape on each end, the inodorus have an elongated elliptical shape, a light scent and a great shelf life (they are also called winter melons). In the Reggio area, varieties of each of these types were grown, some have survived and are still available, although they are not easy to find.
