is "a glossary of terms relating to clothing in Florence of the Quattrocento".

The entry for turchino is "a turquoise blue".

I guess they'd know if it had a specific fabric connotation - but it seems it doesn't.
(Turquoise also being related to 'Turkish'. )
Now that is going to have a nice place in my links collection... very interesting!

That's very interesting. mtravellerh

New Turchino is a great tasting caffeine beverage!

No, it's not. It's a sporty new economy car!

It's a beverage!

It's a sports car!

Relax, Turchino is both! It's a great tasting drink and a gas-saving new automobile.

(In truth, I don't know what the heck it is.)
