| Martorana Marzipan Fruits.. |
In 1537 Charles the V visited Palermo.
The nuns of a church wanted to shw him their garden...BUT it was JUNE and the trees were empty..no fruits..
The sicilian nuns had an idea, and finally they showed him a beautiful and well tended garden, full of oranges made of almond paste and colors, giving the garden a more striking and beautiful effect.
They invented the fruits of MARTORANA (marzipane). The monastery took its name from its founder, the noblewoman Eloisa Martorana.
