This term appears in a tourism article, in a section describing edible plants growing around Fiuggi (Frosinone province).
I usually translate "more" as "blackberries". Here they're red, so are they redcurrants? Gooseberries? Brambleberries? (Mulberries don't seem to be indigenous to Italy.)
Perhaps someone very familiar with that region knows!

: but at that point, why not just 'raspberries'? Red would be taken for granted by your average reader. The colour would only need to be specified if they were black, for instance

Thanks Simon. I think they are of two qualities, red and black, unless they are red mulberies? I'm begining to have doubts.

red blackberries
I am not sure but raspberries are usually red - but I know that in that part of Italy there are red blackberries - they look like blackberries, larger than raspberries, but are red and yet ripe and sweet. Maybe that is just what it is, red blackberries? This is just a guess .. maybe someone else has also seen (and tasted) "red" blackberries?

stone bramble
Hi,
I found this site that lists the plant's Latin name, which is Rubus saxatilis:
http://www.liberherbarum.com/Pn4335.HTM
It's identified here as "stone bramble":
http://www.plant-identification.co.uk/skye/rosaceae/rubus-sa...
According to this site these berries are edible:
http://www.pfaf.org/database/plants.php?Rubus saxatilis
Can you ask your customer to confirm the botanical name?

Up in Durham, these are the mulberries I remember as a kid:

They look like red purplish blackberries
Simon, thanks for the note about mulberries.
I'll close the question soon, and probably just query the client, as so far I wouldn't know which answer is best...
http://www.floramarittime.it/immagine.php?id=2715&ricerca=6&... then they are definitely not raspberries, blackberries, etc. These look pretty poisonous.
