EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Limone sul Garda, a charming Italian town nestled on the shores of Lake Garda in Lombardy, northern Italy. Dating back to the 1910s, this photograph showcases the picturesque lemon houses, a distinctive feature of this historic town. The lemon houses, also known as limonaie, were once used for the ornamental cultivation of lemons, a practice that thrived in this region due to its mild climate and sunny disposition. The image reveals the intricate pillars and walls of these hot-houses, which protected the delicate citrus fruits from the harsh winter weather. The lemon trees, laden with ripe, golden fruits, are a testament to the successful cultivation methods employed by the local farmers. The gardens surrounding the houses are a riot of colors, with vibrant flowers adding to the visual appeal. Limone sul Garda was once renowned for its lemon production, and the lemon houses were an integral part of the town's identity. Today, these structures stand as a reminder of the town's rich history and its deep-rooted connection to the land. A stroll through the narrow streets of Limone sul Garda, with their lemon-scented air and stunning lake views, is a must-do for anyone visiting this beautiful part of Italy.
