Curiosity
Until the sixth century, China had the European monopoly of silk, paid for in gold by the Romans and Byzantines. The Silk Road ran through central Asia, bringing the precious product to Europe thanks to a dense network of intermediaries. For a long time, it was thought that it was produced by the white mulberry trees, until two monks, in 555 CE, brought back to the Old World some mulberry silkworm eggs with caterpillars by hiding them inside their sticks, risking their lives.
Among the legends that are told about the mulberry tree, however, the most delightful and at the same time tragic is that which Ovid tells in his “Metamorphoses”. As the classical author tells us, Pyramus and Thisbe were two young Babylonians who were in love despite the opposition of their families and were forced to talk to each other only through a crack in the high wall that divided their homes. Realizing that their parents would never consent to their marriage, they decided to flee and meet near a mulberry tree. Thisbe arrived first but, frightened by the appearance of a lioness with fangs still bloody from her last meal, she fled, losing the veil she always wore on her head. Pyramus, arriving shortly after and seeing the lioness tear Thisbe’s veil, thought that his beloved had been torn to pieces by a beast and, mad with grief, killed himself with his sword. When Thisbe returned and found her beloved’s lifeless body she cursed the tree: “you will always bear dark fruits as a sign of mourning, to remember the two lovers that bathed you with their blood”. Then, in despair, she stabbed herself with the same sword used by Pyramus. Ever since then, the fruits of the black mulberry take on a dark purple hue when they ripen.

History
The debate among historians on the origin and first introduction of the mulberry in Italy is still ongoing. Many agree that the two main species of mulberry, Morus alba and Morus nigra, come from Asia, the former from Persia and the latter from the Far East, but it seems that it was the black mulberry (Morus nigra) which was the first to be adapted and grown by the Ancient Greeks and Romans for its fruit, and not only for food but also for medicinal purposes. The white mulberry, on the other hand, was introduced in the West along with the silkworm in the twelfth century. Its great importance stemmed from the fact that it was practically irreplaceable food for the silkworm. In Italy it was introduced in the twelfth century by Roger II, King of the Two Sicilies. Silkworm cultivation developed in Europe during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. However, when this business became increasingly marginalized in Italy, the mulberry was grown more sporadically and in general, one can only find older specimens near farmhouses where they are used to provide shade or fruit for occasional picking.
The mulberry belongs to the Moraceae family and to the genus Morus. The plant is a shrub that can grow from 3 to 10 m in height, with a diameter of 0.5 m. The foliage is extensive and globular, the branches grey or yellowish-grey, and the bark of the trunk is deeply furrowed and thick. The male flowers are gathered in short catkins, while the female ones are gathered in subglobular inflorescences that give rise to a false fruit, the 'sorosis', also called mulberry. In mulberries, soroses are made up of small achenes, each surrounded by a fleshy perianth. These mulberries have a length of 3—4 cm, with a colour varying from white to yellowish and purple, and when they reach maturity they fall while still retaining their peduncle. They are rather soft and do not travel well. The berries have the shape of an elongated raspberry, with a short peduncle. It is not really a fruit but an infructescence, or aggregate fruit, formed by the floral wraps that have become fleshy, i.e. by small drupe-shaped fruit. These are violet-blackish, shiny, thick and juicy, with a sweet yet acidulous taste in the black mulberry variety; white-greenish or reddish and with a sweeter taste in the white variety. Morus alba fruits are generally very sweet, while black mulberry fruits are attractive, large, juicy, with a good balance between sweetness and sourness that makes them very tasty. In short: the black mulberry (Morus nigra) is characterized by rather stiff, heart-shaped leaves at the base, rough on the upper side and hairy on the lower side. The fruits are quite sessile and purplish-black in colour with, as already said, a pleasant taste. The tree is deciduous and grows 15— 20 meters high. Its bark is furrowed and brownish-grey. It grows more slowly than the white mulberry and has a globose, expanded crown. The white mulberry, by contrast, has tender leaves, obliquely heart-shaped at the base, whole or lobed especially in the suckers, glabrous on the upper side and pubescent in the lower one, with toothed edges according to the cultivar. The white mulberry tree grows fast and can reach a large size (up to about 20 meters high) if left to develop naturally.
