ONCE UPON A TIME
IN FLORENCE, ITALY ...
Back in 2010, Gabriele Poli was ready to share his love for gelato with the world—seriously. 😳 He knew there had to be a way to celebrate gelato beyond the scoop, but how? That was the challenge he couldn’t resist.
Starting small, Gabriele organized local gelato competitions in Florence, Italy, mixing creativity, passion, and a touch of showmanship. 👨🍳 It wasn’t long before these gatherings turned into something bigger: the Gelato Festival Italian tour.🍦
From there, the festival grew fast. Gelato artisans from across Italy, and soon the world, joined in: bringing incredible flavors, dazzling creations, and pure gelato joy to every city it touched. 🌍
Everything changed when the festival became a global phenomenon. With events in Europe, Asia, and the Americas, Gelato Festival became the world’s most prestigious gelato competition, crowning the finest gelato makers and sharing artisanal gelato with fans everywhere.🏆
Today, Gabriele Poli and his team continue to bring the magic of Gelato Festival to life. From world-class competitions to pints and full-size pans, everyone can enjoy the creamy, velvety taste of the best gelato: whether at a festival, a restaurant, or right at home. 🎉
Gelato isn’t just dessert… it’s an experience, a celebration, and a global passion. And Gabriele? He’s just getting started.
