An Italian restaurateur, dubbed the 'father of tiramisu', has died aged 93.
Ado Campeol, the original owner of Le Beccherie restaurant in Treviso in northeastern Italy, died at his home on Saturday.
Although disputed, Mr Campeol and his wife, Alba, are considered to be the inventors of the famous dessert.
The dish, now a staple of Italian cuisine, was never patented by the family, but appeared on the restaurant menu in 1972.
Le Beccherie, one of the oldest restaurants in Treviso, was opened by the Campeol family in 1939.
But it wasn't until Mrs Campeol was pregnant in 1955 that tiramisu was invented.
Campeol’s son Carlo, who now runs the restaurant, said: 'When Alba was breastfeeding me a few years earlier, she had turned to mascarpone mixed with sugar and biscuits soaked in coffee to keep her energy up, which is traditional in Treviso.'

All that time, I thought Tiramisu was Japanese in orgin.
The ‘MISU’ is similar to MISO in Japan’s Miso Soup.
The ‘father of tsunamis’? Wouldn’t exactly go around braggin’ about it.
One of my favorites, too. A friend as well; sadly he passed in 2019.
Tiramisu sucks.

No, man. Ducks are NOT dessert!
🤪🤪🤪
Gets the job done.
Sugar rush and caffeine
I sympathize! Must have been quite a shock when they put the bean-curd thing in front of you instead of ambrosia.
I think eating raw eggs is gross. Please tell me that there are no raw eggs in Twinkies. Because I actually like them. I have a box in the freezer right now.
Oh, I’ve never eaten it. I’m only going by the way the word looks.
They are if you're a horney mallard!
One of my favorite desserts...
Thank you, Mr. Campeol. We are gonna tiramissyou.
The best Italian dessert is coffee laced with a healthy dose of Disaronno Amaretto. Maybe some whipped cream on top.
OMG. Pretend I am posting the pic in my head: a young man hurling dark yellow vomit - far and wide!
Duck à l’orange
Actually I’ve only had a roasted duck leg and that was about 1982
He may have been credited with creating that dessert but I doubt that he invented it. I recall eating that as a child at neighbor lady’s house in the mid 1950’s in Vicenza, Italy. The best Italian cuisine (or for that matter French cuisine) is prepared by ordinary housewives in home kitchens!
Where do you start eating a duck leg, at the hip or the foot webbing?
