Since the 10th century the name Limon appears in many documents, often transformed into Limonum, Limono and Limone. According to some, the name derives from limen = border or from lima = river. However, these are not derivatives of the fruit ’lemon’, but, according to the most recent studies in toponymy, “rather reflections of an ancient voice of Celtic origin limo, lemos = ’elm’“; hence Limone = “place characterized by the presence of elms“. The name of the town has been Limone San Giovanni since 1863; in 1904 it took on its current name of Limone sul Garda. In the nineteenth century, lemon production went through a crisis caused by ’gummosis’, a disease that affected almost all the plants in 1855; then there was competition from lemons in southern Italy and the discovery of synthetic citric acid, which drastically reduced exports. The Legend of Limone Legend has it that the love of the god Benaco and the nymph Fillide gave birth to twins, Grineo and Limone. In their father’s mind, the first should have devoted himself to fishing, the second to agriculture, but the two, since their adolescence, preferred hunting on the slopes of Mount Baldo, where Limone was attacked and killed by a wild boar. In despair, Fillide pleaded with her husband to bring her son back to life: she gave him an infusion prepared with mysterious celestial flowers and the miracle was accomplished. Promptly obeying his father’s wishes, Limone settled down in front of Baldo, in a gentle inlet sheltered from the winds, and cultivated the fruit that took his name. #limone #lakegarda #italy #travel #beautifulplaces #beautifulvillage
