The sweet
Considered one of the most famous Italian sweets in the world, Tiramisù has gained more and more fans all over the world.
The name of the dessert comes from the Italian expression “Tirami Sù”, which means something like “pull me up” or “lift me up”.
Many regions of Italy consider themselves creators of the sweet, including Piedmont, Lombardia e Toscana. But, initially it comes from the region of Veneto, specifically from Treviso.
