Tornatura

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The tornatura was an Italian field and area measure and can be equated with the hectare . The measure became legal with the introduction of the "French" system in the Kingdom of Italy and the Papal States from January 1, 1850. The decimal measure that was introduced was also retained under the later Austrian rule.

The measure had these values ​​as a basis in / in:

  • Milan
    • 1 tornatura = 100 tovoles = 10,000 centiari / square metric = 15.2784 square pertiches
  • Papal States
    • 1 Tornatura (old) = 144 Tavole = 14,000 square piede ( feet ) = 20.8046 aren = 201.5 square meters
    • 1 Tornatura (new) = 100 Tavole = 10,000 square piede (feet) / piedi quadrati = 34.1766 aren
