Gelato Ice Cream Museum

Gelato Ice Cream Museum

A museum to celebrate and dedicated to the history and culture of ice cream is to open in Italy. 

The museum will showcase 10,000 photographs and documents of different gelatos (ice creams) derived from the country, as well as the first written recipe and around 20 gelato-making machines including primitive, hand-operated churns made out of wood and iron..

About Gelato historian, it said
that Luciana Polliotti - a gelato historian and the curator of the new museum.
-said: “The tradition of gathering snow and ice from mountaintops and using it to make sorbets and sherbets began 1,200 years before Christ.”  The Arab invaders of Spain and Sicily vie with the ancient Romans for the honour of being the inventors of sorbets and ice creams.

In the 17th century Florence., making gelato involved the blending and freezing of eggs and cream. Today, ice cream is still a very popular treat throughout the world. Children, adult, everyone love it, taste it, smell i, so sweet and sweet.

Due to open in September 2012, the museum promises to cater for everyone’s tastes.
It was so expensive – largely because of the cost of ice – that it was only aristocratic families like the Medicis who could afford to indulge.

Don't miss it to you ice cream lovers.
