Did you know that gelato was considered rich and noble people’s food and that the poet Proust wrote about gelato ?

Did you know the first Italian gelato mashines worked with ice cubes and salt ? And you had to turn a wheel to make your favorite ice-cream..

Welcome to the Carpigiani Gelato Museum in Bologna, Italy.

Just never forget one thing: Don’t you dare call Italian gelato “ice cream”. You will get a long lecture about the differences. One among them: Gelato has a lot less fat and therefore less calories. Sounds good to us.

Unfortunately ByItaly cannot sell gelato. But ByItaly has other wonderfull Italian sweets.
