Limone
"lemon's Village"
The name is Limone, italian for lemon: lemon tree is growing well here and in the past was an important resource for the local economy.
The pillars and walls of the lemon houses (the typical hot-houses where lemons were grown) can still be seen today.
Now days this small town of just over 1000 inhabitants, is a well-equipped Lake Garda tourist destination, but with its own charm.Its picturesque, historic town center, ancient homes, narrow streets, and ports surrounded by lush vegetation offer endless possibilities for pleasant, relaxing hikes and strolls both inland and along the lake.
In 1979 researchers discovered that some native people possess a mutant form of a particuar blood proteine (Apolyprotein A -1 MILANO) .
