gelato is Italian ice cream, containing the same ingredients as
American ice cream, but in different proportions. It was during the
Italian Renaissance that gelato in its modern form was first created.
In the 1500s, a wealthy family commissioned artist and architect
Bernardo Buontalenti to create an elaborate feast for the visiting
King of Spain. Not only was Buontalenti talented in the arts, but he
also had quite a culinary prowess and crafted a creamy frozen dessert
for the King that has since been known as gelato. The love for this
indulgent treat spread quickly throughout Europe and became deeply
entrenched in the fabric of everyday life in Italy.
