Campanino (Italian: mela campanina; in the Emilian dialect Mirandolese póm campanèn, transl. tiny bell apple), also known as mela modenese, transl. Modenese apple,[1] or mela della nonna, transl. grandmother's apple,[2] is a variety of the domestic apple. Thanks to its long shelf life, the Campanino has been popular not only in Italy but also in export to countries such as Germany.[3]

Campanino apples are included in the list of Italian Traditional Foodstuffs (Prodotti agroalimentari tradizionali – PAT) from the Emilia-Romagna region, and in the Emilia-Romagna Regional Voluntary Database of Agricultural Genetic Resources (code RER V019).[4]

The cultivar is also widespread in the Veneto region, where it is called campanìn (code GM27) or Modena apple (code GM47).[1][5]
