History

Most accounts of the origin of tiramisu date its invention to the 1960s in the region of Veneto, Italy, at the restaurant "Le Beccherie" in Treviso, Italy.
Some debate remains, however. Accounts by Carminantonio Iannaccone as first reported by David Rosengarten in The Rosengarten Report and later followed up by The Baltimore Sun and The Washington Post claim the creation of tiramisu by him on 24 December 1969 in Via Sottotreviso while he was head chef at Treviso, near Venice. Other sources claim that the dish was first created in Treviso in 1967 by a baker named Roberto Linguanotto and his apprentice, Francesca Valori.Alternatively, it may have originated as a variation of another layered dessert, Zuppa Inglese. It is mentioned in Giovanni Capnist's 1983 cookbook I Dolci Del Veneto, while Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary gives 1982 as the first mention of the dessert. Other sources report the creation of the cake to honor Grand Duke Cosimo III when he visited the city of Siena.
Regardless, recipes for tiramisu are unknown in cookbooks before the 1960s and the Italian-language dictionary Sabatini Coletti traces the first mention of the word to 1980.
In traditional pastry tiramisu has similarities with cakes in addition to the above Zuppa Inglese, in particular with the Charlotte, composed of a Bavarian cream surrounded by a crown of ladyfingers and covered by a sweet cream; the Turin cake, consisting of ladyfingers soaked in rosolio and alchermes with a spread made of butter, egg yolks, sugar, milk, and dark chocolate; and the Bavarese Lombarda, with is similar in the preparation and the presence of certain ingredients such as ladyfingers and egg yolks albeit cooked ones. In Bavarese, butter and rosolio or alchermes are also used, but not mascarpone cream nor coffee. Source: Tiramisu
