It was a privileged place where carriages could stop and patrons could enjoy a glass of water and anise, known by the nickname of zammù. In 1892, the recipe underwent a reformulation process, including anethole, an oil extracted from star anise, imported directly from China and still today the main focus of the preparation. However, the complete formulation of the recipe has never been revealed.
