Limone sul Garda is a town and comune in the province of Brescia, in Lombardy (northern Italy), on the shore of Lake Garda. Despite the presence of famous cultivations of lemons (the meaning of the city's name in Italy), the town's name is probably derived 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 1940's the city was reachable only by the lake or through the mountains, with the road to Riva del Garda being built only 1932, but today Limone sul Garda is one of the most renowned tourist resorts in the area. In 1979 researchers discovered that people in Limone sul Garda 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.

The protein has given residents of the village extreme longevity - a dozen of those living here are over the age of 100 (for c. 1,000 total inhabitants).
