Italian term or phrase: Are 14, Ca 90
In materia di catasti, se una particella ha una dimensione di "Are 07, Ca 90", Ara e` una dimensione di superficie (10m x 10m); ma cosa vuol dire "Ca"?

If a plot of land has "Are 07, Ca 90" as the size - what does "Ca" stand for?

Explanation:

"mq - Le dimensioni del terreno vengono catastalmente indicate con la divisione in ha. (ettari), a. (are) e ca. (centiare). Da tale identificazione si ottengono i mq. utilizzando i seguenti moltiplicatori: ha. x 10.000, a. x 100, ca. x 1"

centiara: misura di superficie per terreni agricoli equivalente alla centesima parte dell’ara, pari cioè a un metro quadrato
ara: misura di superficie per terreni agricoli equivalente a cento metri quadrati (simb. 5a)

Thanks - the very inside knowledge I needed - what an archaic concept. Mind you it's shorter than "square meters"!

agree  Petja Mladenova: ca=centiara

agree  Gian: il catasto usa ancora queste unità di misura; come detto da R.J. ara e centiara (minuscolo) si abbreviano in "a" e "ca" senza punto e la trasformazione in metri quadrati (m²) è indicativa e per me non va usata.

1490 m2


Explanation:
'Are 14, Ca 90' could in principle be written 'Are 14.9', but for some reason that I don't know it's almost always written in two parts (also in French ...).

So 'Are 14, Ca 90' --> 1490 m2 (1782 sq. yards)

Explanation:
Come ben spiegato da R.J. ca (e non Ca) equivale a 1 m².
ettaro (h), ara (a) e centiara (ca) sono unità di misura agrarie per i terreni agricoli

Si tratta di un sottomultiplo dell'ettaro e dell'ara. Nello specifico, 100 centiare corrispondono a 1 ara. Quindi, la misurazione in ettari è tale che 1 ettaro corrisponde a 100 are e a 10000 centiare.

http://www.cisad.it/invitoalbraille/html/m32l22.html

Esempio: ha (ettaro) 1,5642 corrisponde a 1 ettaro, 56 are e 42 centiare, ovvero ha 1, a 56, ca 42.
