Italian term

foglio a quadratini

Italian to English Law/Patents Law (general) Estates
In a document prepared by a notary to make public a holographic will, there is a description of the document indicating that the will is "costituita da un foglio a quadrattini". It seems for one thing that the last word should be spelled quadratini, but can anyone confirm what type of paper this would be? It sounds like graph paper to me.

I understand that such a will can be made on any type of paper and that perhaps graph paper was used because it was the only thing available.

Many thanks in advance for your ideas on this!

Giunia Totaro Oct 11, 2012:
Quadrattino Se il notaio (o comunque il redattore dell'atto) è un arzillo vecchietto, potrebbe avere adottato la grafia con due T per analogia con la parola "cioccolattino".
Infatti "cioccolattino" (e anche "cioccolatto", "cioccolatte", cioccolatta") è stato in uso a lungo nella lingua scritta e parlata, ed è variante corretta di "cioccolatino", sebbene oggi quasi scomparsa.

That's most likely a sheet of checkered paper, whichcan be used for drawings or maps when property is involved. See if it makes sense in your contest!
