Ado Campeol, the famed owner of the Italian restaurant where tiramisu is widely thought to have been invented, died over the weekend at his home in Treviso, the region's governor announced. He was 93.
"Treviso loses another one of its gastronomical stars," Luco Zaia, the governor of the Veneto region, wrote on his Facebook page on Saturday. "It is at his restaurant, thanks to intuition and the imagination of his wife, that was born the tiramisu, one of the most celebrated desserts in the world."
Tiramisu — roughly translated as "pick-me-up" — features egg yolks whipped with mascarpone cheese, layered over coffee-soaked biscuits and topped with cocoa powder.
