Luxardo Girolamo S.P.A was founded in 1821 by Girolamo Luxardo and is still controlled by the same founding family. It was founded in Zadar on the Dalmatian coasts.  At the end of the First World War Zara was annexed to the Kingdom of Italy. The Luxardo Company soon became one of the most important distilleries in the country. The liqueur produced was of such high quality that it attracted the attention of friends and admirers. Girolamo, exploited this family initiative, founding in 1821 a factory for the production of Maraschino.
