Rhubarb is beneficial to the liver & has been used in traditional Chinese medicine since its earliest days,  & Zucca belongs to the long tradition of Italian liqueurs prescribed to aid digestion. Zucca enjoys a certain amount of prominence as a featured drink at the Caffe Miani in Galleria Vittorio Emanuele at the Piazza del Duomo in Milan. The bar is locally known as the Zucca bar thanks to a large Zucca sign outside the building,  & was also the site where Gaspare Campari first introduced his alcoholic infusion of herbs in the 1860s.
