Common Length Conversions Metric Length Conversions Unit Definition (pie [Argentina]) The pie is a traditional foot of Spain. The pie equals 1/3 vara or 12 pulgadas. The Argentine length is 28.89 centimeters or 11.37 inches. Unit Definition (cana (canna, canne)) The caña (canna, canne) are traditional units of distance in Spain, Italy, and southern France, respectively. The caña varied in size, but it was most often defined as 8 palmos, which makes it the Mediterranean version of the fathom, equal to roughly 2 meters or 6.5 feet. In Italy a measuring stick is still called a canna metrica. The unit is sometimes translated to "rod" in English, but "fathom" is the proper choice.
