Plan your Italy trip →Bernardo Buontalenti is credited with creating gelato for the Medici court in the 1500s (the "Buontalenti" flavor in Florentine gelaterie — egg cream with a hint of orange — is named after him). Florence takes this history seriously. Classes here emphasize traditional techniques and seasonal Tuscan ingredients — Bronte pistachios, Amalfi lemons, Tuscan peaches.
Similar to Rome: learn the base science, make 2-3 flavors, eat everything. Florentine classes tend to be slightly more polished and "gourmet" than Rome's — reflecting the city's food scene personality. Some include a gelato walk through the city afterward, comparing your creation to professional gelaterie.
