the introduction of this plant in Europe shortly after the conquest of Mexico (1521-1525), a nation where the agave grows abundantly and flowers which are still used in the preparation of "pulque ", the national drink.
It is due to the introduction Cortuso Giacomo Antonio Padua in Italy (in 1561) that agave, the beautiful Venetian Renaissance gardens, spread rapidly and soon became spontaneous. The poetic imagination imagine
