Have you heard of the legend of Disaronno?

Disaronno is one of the most popular amaretto liqueur makers, with long-standing roots in Italy. Their story begins in the year 1525, during the Renaissance, with artist Bernardino Luini.

Luini was taught by the famous Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci. He was commissioned to paint a fresco of the Madonna of the Miracles in Saronno, Italy, but upon arriving decided he needed a young woman to portray the Madonna as his muse.

For this, he chose a nearby beautiful innkeeper. To show her gratitude, the young woman prepared a special gift of a flask full of an amber liqueur, and that's how the legend of Disaronno began - from a simple gesture of kindness.
