Like many recipes based on almonds, it is of ancient tradition and sinks its origins in 1500. In the city of Saronno it was commissioned to the painter Bernardino Luini a fresco that portrays the Madonna and the adoration of the Magi. The fresco is still visible in the sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of Miracles. The legend tells that in the period in which the painter stayed in Saronno he stayed at an innkeeper with particular beauty, with whom he fell in love with the point of using it as a model for his Madonna. To thank him, she offered him an elixir of herbs, toasted sugar, bitter almonds and brandy that was immediately appreciated and spread in no time.
