Yes, you read the title of this post right; there IS an entire festival dedicated to gelato!!! For five days in Florence (May 25 to the 29), you can try EVERY flavor of gelato ever made. In Piazza Pitti and Piazza della Repubblica shops from all over Italy come to showcase their gelato. Each shop also showcases a "warhorse" which is their flavor of gelato they want you to try and vote on at the end of the festival. The gelato with the most votes becomes the "official flavor of the event!" On top of tasting gelato, there are demonstrations on how to make gelato as well as other seminars and workshops. It should be an extremely fun event!! For more information go to the OFFICIAL WEBSITE!
Eat away, gelato lovers!!!
