Other versions are more interesting, one is said to have originated in Schiena, in the province of Tuscany, in western Italy, where the Duke of Medici visited in the 19th century and became enamored with a local paste dessert, which the residents named "the duke's sweet custard" (zuppadel duca) in honor of the dessert. Subsequently, the Duke of Italy introduced the dessert to Florence in the north, and it became the favorite of the British intellectuals stationed there, and was renamed "Englishman's Sweet Soup" and brought back to England, where it became popular in tandem with Italy. The desserts of Siena were also introduced to the large northeastern Italian cities of Treviso and Venice.
