Editor’s note: According to In Rome Cooking, the history of the drink is follows: “This liquor is so delicious that everyone claims to be its creator! There exist three main versions to explain its origins. Some people from Sorrento say it was invented in their region a while ago and the nobles used to offer some of it to their guests. On another hand, people from Amalfi say it was invented in Ancient Times and farmers and fishermen used to drink it in the morning to fight the cold weather, already at the time of the Arabic invasion. However, the most plausible story states that Limoncello was created at the beginning of the 20th century by Maria Antonia Farace. The woman was the owner of a small hotel in Capri and had a garden full of lemons and oranges that she used to make Limoncello to offer her guests. Her son, Massimo Canale, registered the brand in 1988.”

In addition, “…the Certification Authority stated that the term “Limoncello” can be used only for liquors produced with PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) lemons from Sorrento area.”
