# Girolamo Luxardo

Girolamo Luxardo S.p.A. is an Italian liqueur factory. Founded in Zara, it moved to Torreglia near Padua after 1945.
The company's current products include a variety of liqueurs and similar products (Maraschino, Sangue Morlacco, Sambuca, Amaretto, Grappa, Passione Nera, Slivovitz, Luxardo Fernet, etc.) as well as other baking related products, such as liqueur concentrates, fruit syrups, and jams. Luxardo products are sold in about 70 countries worldwide. The distillery employs approximately 45 people, as well as roughly 100 salespeople throughout Italy. The 6,800-square-metre (73,000 sq ft) distillery is capable of producing 6,000 bottles per hour. In 2010, it produced a pre-tax profit of €16 million.

## History

The firm was founded in 1821 by Girolamo Luxardo in the city of Zara, Kingdom of Dalmatia. Luxardo had moved to Zara with his family in 1817, as the consular representative of the Kingdom of Sardinia. His wife (Maria Canevari) produced liqueurs at home, specializing in "rosolio maraschino", a liquor from Dalmatia, and Luxardo founded the distillery to produce Liquore Maraschino. Within eight years of existence, the Luxardo Maraschino was recognized a superior product by the Emperor. By 1839, the Luxardo Maraschino was consumed in overseas New Orleans.
Girolamo Luxardo died in 1865 at age 81, and his son Nicolò took over the business.
In 1913 a new distillery was built by Michelangelo Luxardo, who was of the third generation of Luxardos. The distillery was one of the largest in the Austro-Hungarian Empire (maybe the largest distillery in Europe at one time). The building still stands today.
Zara became part of the Kingdom of Italy as per the peace treaties at the end of World War I. The distillery was almost completely destroyed by Allied bombings during the Second World War. In 1944, at the end of Nazi German occupation, the city was occupied by Yugoslav partisans and later integrated into Yugoslavia at the end of the war. Pietro Luxardo, Nicolò II and his wife were killed by Tito's forces (Foibe massacres). The business was temporarily refounded in Venice by Giorgio Luxardo, who allegedly fled with a sapling of marasca cherry tree and an original Maraschino recipe, before Giorgio moved to Torreglia, near Padova, in the Veneto region of Italy, where he built a new distillery and continued the family's and firm's activities. The sixth generation of the family is still active in the operations of the company, including: Piero Luxardo, Franco Luxardo, Guido Luxardo, Matteo Luxardo, Filippo Luxardo and Giorgio Luxardo.

## Marasca cherries

The company owns a line of canned sour marasca cherries, branded Maraschino cherries.
The company owns 22,000 marasca cherry trees in what is the largest cherry orchard in the European Union. It also holds the naming rights to its own marasca variety.

## Awards

In 2011 at the New York World Wine and Spirits Competition, the Amaretto di Saschira won double gold and best liqueur in show and the Triplum Triple Sec Orange won double gold and best fruit liqueur in show.

## Late adolescence and adulthood

In October 1869, a few days before his 15th birthday, be began working in his uncle's business. Alex. Fraser & Co. were wholesale dealers in "soft goods", shawls being one of their chief markets.

Smith was commissioned into the Rifle Volunteers in 1877 and promoted to Lieutenant later the same year. He also became a Sunday School teacher. It was a combination of these two activities that led him to found the Boys' Brigade on 4 October 1883 at Free Church Mission Hall, North Woodside Road, Glasgow. In 1909 he was knighted by King Edward VII for his services to children. He reached the rank of Honorary Colonel in the Lanarkshire Rifle Volunteers.

# William Robert Mustoe

William Robert Mustoe (June 1878 – 22 July 1942) was a Kew-trained English gardener and landscaper involved in the layout of gardens and avenues best known for his work in planning the gardens and avenues of the new capital city of Delhi, working in association with the architect Edwin Lutyens.
Mustoe was born in Leckhampton, where his father was a gardener. Following the family trade, he trained in horticulture at Dicksons nursery in Chester and then for private estate owners. He gained an interest in tropical plants after working in glasshouses at Sundridge Park of Sir Samuel Scott and in 1903 he applied for a position at the Kew glasshouses. Older than most applicants, he was accepted in 1904 and was recommended by Sir William Thiselton-Dyer in the next year for a vacancy in northern India. Although found to have defective vision, he was accepted and he worked for a while in the Municipal Gardens of Bombay. In 1905 he moved to the gardens in Lahore where he succeeded W.R. Brown as a superintendent, conducting tests on 120 species of Eucalyptus for suitability. He was involved in the landscaping of the Punjab camp at the Coronation Durbar of 1911. Mustoe began interplanting fast growing Eucalyptus rudis and slower growing Terminalia arjuna in avenues with the idea of cutting off the Eucalyptus once the Terminalia established. He published his experiences in 1915 as Notes Upon Roadside Arboriculture. Mustoe was selected to assist Edwin Lutyens with landscaping of the new capital of Delhi. Mustoe succeeded A.E.P. Griessen who was on the verge of retirement. A nursery was established at Talkatora Bagh and discussions on the choice of plants and their spacing in avenues took place with Lutyens and his assistant Walter George. He was involved in the afforestation of the Delhi Ridge, for which he promoted the use of Prosopis juliflora. Mustoe was also involved in the landscaping of the Viceroy's garden, now known as the Rashtrapati Bhavan. Lady Hardinge influenced the choice of a Mughal design, and she was in turn influenced by Constance Villiers-Stuart and her Gardens of the Great Mughals (1913). Mustoe was also employed in the design of the Lodhi Golf Course in 1931, in preparation for which he also learned the sport.
Mustoe was awarded an Order of the British Empire in 1930 and he retired to England and lived at Ashtead, Surrey, from 1934. He, however, visited India in 1938 on the invitation of Lord Linlithgow to review changes in the Viceregal garden made since Lord Willingdon's tenure. Another trip was made in 1942, on which he had an accidental fall while in Jodhpur, which led to his death.
