Gardens by the sea
The cultivation of lemons, although extended over a vast coastal stretch in the suitable territories of Sicily, Calabria, and Campania, maintains surprisingly homogeneous characteristics.
This homogeneity is guaranteed by a favorable climate, lime-rich and well-watered alluvial soils, a selection of quality lemon varieties, and above all by the human element: the pride and passion of the farmers who devote love and care to their “lemon garden.”
