History

Giuseppe and Bernardina Giolitti, a couple, founded the business in 1890. They first opened a creamery on Salita del Grillo. Soon after, it became a supplier to the royal family. The same family still owns the business. Their son Nazzareno began selling ice cream at the shop on Via degli Uffici del Vicario. Silvano made ice cream the main focus of the business. He developed his own recipes, which are still in use today.
