For every negative about the warm season in a particularly muggy place like the Arno valley, there is a silver lining. None is more tasty and enticing as a cup overflowing with freshly made gelato. The icy treat that has taken the world by storm has a complex history and no one is really sure where it came from. People in Florence have no doubt about it: gelato is their thing, one of the many contributions of the Tuscan capital to the world. They have a point, considering that two of the people that were instrumental in making gelato a worldwide hit were indeed born in Florence. Their story, how it took the help of a queen to make it popular and how the passion for cold treats changed forever the Tuscan capital is really fascinating. If you stick around until the end of the episode, you will also learn the best 3 gelaterie in Florence where you can taste the most authentic and surprising gelato in town. We're trying to make our episodes more focused, less rambling, without much success - we always find too much interesting stuff! Do you like them just the way they are or would you rather have them shorter? Let us know by dropping us a message or an email. Every feedback will help us grow, so thanks in advance!
