Gelato dates back to the 16th century. There is some confusion as to where it originated or who really invented gelato. As most stories go, it is credited to Bernardo Buontalenti, a native of Florence, who delighted the court of Catherina dei Medici with his creation. But most people think of Sicily as the birthplace of gelato with Sicilian born Francesco Procopio dei Coltelli as one of the first to sell it to the public. Summoned to Paris in 1686, he opened a cafe named after himself called "Cafe Procope", which quickly became one of the most celebrated meeting places of the literary establishment in France. in Italy meanwhile, the art of traditional gelato making was passed on from father to son, improved & perfected right up to the 20th century, when many gelato makers began to emigrate, taking their expertise to the rest of Europe.
