Bigoncia
Bigoncia , the bucket, Bigot, Italian Bigontia or Bigonzo (Latin Congius), was an Italian measure of volume and was used in Venice .
It was a so-called wine measure. The amphora had 4 bigoncia. Other terms were Biconzia, Biconzo, Bivongio, and Bicongius . The latter name was the old Roman one. A small difference in the wine measure was made with cellar wine and customs wine.
- Customs wine 1 Bigoncia = 4 Quartari = 16 Secchie = 64 Libbre = 256 Ingistare
- 1 Bigoncia = 7968 Parisian cubic inches = 158.0563 liters
- Cellar wine 1 Bigoncia = 2 Barile / Mastelli / Concie = 14 Secchie = 56 Libbre
The relationships were different with brandy.
- 1 Bigoncia = 3 ½ Quartari = 14 Secchie = 56 Libbre
