Treviso, just northwest of Venice, in the northeastern province of Veneto, is best known for its canals, frescoes and . . . Tiramisu. The famous Italian gastronome Giuseppe Maffioli wrote in an article in 1981: “Tiramisu was born recently, just 10 years ago in the town of Treviso. It was proposed for the first time in the restaurant Le Beccherie. The dessert and its name became immediately extremely popular, and this cake and the name where copied by many restaurants first in Treviso then all around Italy”.
