Limone sul Garda is a town and comune in the province of Brescia, in Lombardy (northern Italy), on the coast of Lake Garda. Despite the presence of famous cultivations of lemons (the meaning of the city's name in Italy), the name derives probably from the ancient lemos (elm) or limes (Latin: boundary, referring to the communes of Brescia and the Bishopric of Trento). In 1863-1905 the denomination was Limone San Giovanni. Until the 1940s the city was reachable only by the lake or through the mountains, a road connecting to Riva del Garda being built only 1932. Today Limone is one of the most renowned touristic resorts in the area. In 1979 researchers discovered that people in Limone possess a mutant form of apolipoprotein (called A-1 MILANO) in their blood, that induced healthy levels of high-density cholesterol, which resulted in a lowered risk of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular diseases.
