Gelati Cecchi
Gelati Cecchi is an Italian gelato company founded in 1936 by Gabriello Cecchi in Turin. Today the company is led by grandson Stefano Cecchi. History 1936-1950 In 1936, Gabriello Cecchi moved to Turin. He was originally from Ponte Buggianese, in Tuscany, but he hailed from France, where he learned the art of making gelato from Italian immigrants. Assisted by his wife and his brother, Tancredi, he opened an gelato parlour in Corso Palestro with a seating capacity of 200 and a workshop attached. The business grew quickly, thanks also to his famous crema gialla custard flavour, considered the best in Turin at the time. This particular type of vanilla, a flavour that no one ever managed to reproduce, was Gabriello's jewel in the crown. The glass sign featuring golden italics on an aquamarine background, which dominated the Corso Palestro parlour's shop window – Cecchi Gelati Naturali – revealed only part of the secret. Gabriello did use top quality ingredients, but it was the f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
