Ciao from Firenze!

Welcome to Dolce Firenze!
This is the blog to find out everything you need to know and more about gelato when travelling in Florence, Italy! Allow us to introduce ourselves. We are three girls with a sweet tooth, studying in Florence, and on a quest to compile the ultimate gelato guide for anyone and everyone as addicted as we are...

Ciao! My name is Alyssa, and I am from Lubbock, Texas. I'm studying Marketing and Management at Lorenze de Medici right here in Firenze! I love the city, the museums, the history, and most of all the gelato :) My love of food and all things sweet are what motivated me to be a part of this blog. If you love gelato as much as I do, you're in the right place! I have made it my personal goal to try every flavor of gelato offered in Florence, so I will keep you updated on which flavors you should try!


Hey ! I'm Aracely, and I'm from Querétaro, México. I'm studying Communications and I have been studying in Florence since January 2011. I love Italian culture and what I like most is the culture of the food. As gelato is one of the most knowned  food from Italy besides the pasta and pizza I was really interested in writting in this blog. What I also will try to do is writting about the relationship between the people and the gelato.Who eats it more, in which situations, etc.So everything you want to know about people and gelato you i'll know it because of me!
A presto!


Ciao! My name is Jessica and I'm from Plymouth, Massachusetts. I am currently spending the semester abroad here in Florence, Italy, studying at Lorenzo De Medici. During the summers I manage an ice cream shop, where we sell what I always thought to be the most delicious homemade I've ever had - that was until coming to Florence and trying gelato that is! With yet another shop just around every corner, I can't help but to try them all. I'll keep you updated on the shops with the most unique offerings, welcoming owners, and overall best places to indulge in this sweet treat!
