The roots of the research on citruses lie in the bachelor&#8217;s thesis and explores a little-known feature of these crops, spread in the Riviera for both commercial and food scopes and for aesthetic use. \u201cIn the book, I describe the cultivation of citrus fruits in Sanremo, but also the transformation of the landscape &#8211; she says &#8211; and then the varieties, spread in the Italian and European historic gardens from the Baroque period onwards.\u201d The first iconographic documentation in the city on citrus fruits dates to the mid-seventeenth century, while the first quote on the variety dates to the thirteenth century. \u201cFrom there we reach the early 1900s &#8211; adds Irma Beniamino \u2013 up to the disappearance of the landscape and even of the memory to a certain extent.
