According to a document dated July 27, 1754, the Parisini family of Gargnano bought land at Pra dela fam, a tiny strip of land along the lake between the mouths of the Piovere and Baès Torrents, where they built their first garden, now called the "Old Garden". In 1850 they added the "New Garden", further south, that covered eight terraces.
The two gardens of Pra, together with the one further north called Àngerer or Àngher, which was always owned by the Parisini family, produced lemons until the early 20th century. The Old Garden was later abandoned and in the mid-sixties the Àngher and "New Garden" also experienced periods of crisis. The owners unsuccessfully sought alternative solutions. In 1985, the Comunità Montana dell'Alto Garda restored 75 plots of the "New Garden", planted with about one hundred citrus plants, including 66 lemon trees.
