Common Length Conversions Metric Length Conversions Unit Definition (palmo [Portuguese]) The palmo is a traditional unit of distance in Spain and Portugal. The Portuguese palmo equals 0.1 braça or about 22.0 centimeters (8.66 inches). These units are based on the width of a person's outstretched hand, from the tip of the thumb to the tip of the little finger, a definition identical to that of the English span. Unit Definition (braccio [Italy]) The Braccio is a traditional Italian measurement of length. The word means "arm", and a Braccio is approximately equal to the length of a man's arm, about 27 or 28 inches (68-71 centimeters). In modern times, the Braccio has become an informal metric unit of exactly 70 centimeters (about 27.56 inches), which is the same as the Arm Length unit.
