"canna" refers to bore size.

Stock Mondials were marked in this manner.  Number states bore size, piston itself has the correct "undersize" to fit.

I didn't know "canna" was an Italian word either. I just put it in Google Translate and it came out with: cane, barrel, rod, reed, pipe, stick, crossbar, funnel ...  Blimey, it's a wonder they understand each other  :D

Barrel seems to be the one that applies in this case.

What if the pistons have no size marks stamped on the top?
I recently got a set of oversize Mondial high comps (bought from a local Laverda dealer) that had no markings.    Seemed odd, but the pistons were OK, otherwise.

did you drill a 1mm hole right at the back underneath? we all used to do that, even in joburg where you have to try hard to make things go rusty

I didn't Henry. Learning process!
They would need to be drilled at the lowest point though, that's where they rotted through.

Canna is also latin name for cane or reed , as in the ornamental plant use in "tropical" displays.Really wanted to know that eh
 
Paul, most chrome platers I have tried won't chrome mufflers for the reasons you stated but will chrome exhaust pipes. The exception is when they are going to change their solutions. So if you time it right maybe you can find one that will do it.
