I've not come across this in Italy, but strangely enough, on hot days, Rowntree's in York used to provide it for the workforce, naturally we used to sweeten it with inverted sugar mix, which had errrm unfortunate toilet related consequences if the balance was wrong. :o

Yup, have seen the same treatment given to grapefruit... Mind you, I have heard that lemons in Italy manage to be a bit sweeter than the stuff I grew up with...still don't think I would try that though.
My mother's family are from a village just south of Naples, so prime lemon growing country I gather.
