No, despite your trip to Wikipedia you don't know what you're talking about, Grana Padano Is another brand, the kind of cheese is called Grana, Grana Padano just (imho illegally) protected an existing name. In Italy when you ask for Grana you are asking for either Grana or Parmigiano, but if you ask for Parmigiano then it's only that.

That's got zero to do with Parmigiano. Trentingrana for example is Grana Padano produced outside of the latter's regulations, just like you are demanding, well they just used a different name.

And this still doesn't change the simple fact that things should be called based on what they are, not where they were made.
