THE STORY Before being an aristocratic Palazzo, the building was a monastery and it was split in different units. The living room of the apartment was also divided in 2 rooms. Some Nuns were living and praying here, looking outside the window, hearing the stories of the town and meeting each other in the refectory (the actual kitchen) for cooking meals and making cookies or pies. The legend says that one of them, by mixing flour with eggs and sugar, created a lighter version of the biscuit they were used to make. When she moved to the north of Italy her recipe became the one used to make the first Tiramisu' dessert.
