Tips and curiosities of the tomolo
Cherries are undoubtedly a fruit of great historical importance and have always been admired. The credit goes to Asia Minor, where the Persians and Greeks cultivated the fruit as early as 300 BC. It did not take long for the Romans to spread it throughout Europe. Legend has it that soldiers planted cherry trees along the roads of the Empire as a gesture of promise. Cherries were a symbol of fertility, love and happiness.
They also had a place in medicine: Hippocrates recommended them for gout, and Pliny the Elder for headaches. The cherry is also the protagonist of strange stories and legends. According to one story, George Washington confessed that he had cut down a cherry tree as a child to prove his honesty to his father. Another says that Napoleon took cherries with him on his military campaigns so that they could be dropped here and there to give life to new trees.
