Frutta martorana (also frutta di Martorana or, in Sicilian, frutta marturana) is a traditional marzipan sweet, in the form of fruits and vegetables, from the provinces of Palermo and Messina,[1] Sicily.
Realistically coloured with vegetable dyes, it is said to have originated at the Church of Santa Maria dell'Ammiraglio, Palermo, when nuns decorated empty fruit trees with marzipan fruit to impress an archbishop visiting at Easter. It is traditionally put by children's bedsides on All Souls' Day.
