If you happen to be on an Italy vacation next week, and in the vicinity of the gorgeous city of Florence, make sure you find a way to partake in the Italian Gelato Festival. Dozens of Italian gelato vendors will have stands set up in the Piazza Pitti as well as in the Sammontana Village in Piazza della Repubblicas and gelateri all over the city will be showing off their best offerings.
Tickets required, by the way. Apparently, there are two types, one that includes parking.
What’s better then Italian Gelato? The Internet is buzzing with excitement on this. Here are five links to various announcements and musings about the event. Click around, read the comments, see what makes sense and you’ll get a sense of the excitement around one of Itay’s favorite treats, gelato. It often is one of the lasting memories of an Italy vacation!
High five! In the meantime, I’m really craving Italian gelato. Sorbet is not going to do it!
