What's This Bean?

Does anyone recognise this climbing bean?

I have been told it's an Italian variety but I can't find any details on it.

One of the OB's gave me a few seeds last year and they came up fine.

They have dark blue, almost black, seeds
Produce a purple flower
They have 5"- 6" pale-green flat pods

And they grow and spread like there's no tomorrow.

Any ideas?

I don't recognise it, but have you tried browing the Seeds of Italy website? They may just have something similar.

Seeds of Italy only have Bobbie Nero which is pencil podded and not flat
