Nonna Giuseppina is 86 years old and in Massa Lubrense she prepares a very special limoncello, using lemons from her own garden, along with their leaves. Lemon groves strongly characterise the landscape of Massa Lubrense, a small town on the Sorrento Coast.
Lemon cultivation began here in the 17th century with the Jesuit Fathers, who designed the typical pergola system with straw matting roofs and sturdy chestnut pole bases. Along the rocky coastline, lemon groves share space with olive trees, extending all the way down to the sea—an extraordinary sight that is a powerful draw for tourism.
