Badiani Gelato Firenze 1932

The Barattolo GELATO

A Creative Flavour Journey from Florence

Authentic Florentine artisan gelato for premium retail distribution. Over 90 years of gelato-making excellence from the birthplace of gelato.

Buontalenti: The Cream That Made History

In the 1960s, in Florence, Badiani dedicated a special flavour to Bernardo Buontalenti, the Renaissance architect to whom tradition attributes the birth of gelato in the 16th century.

1500s
The Origin

Bernardo Buontalenti invents gelato in Renaissance Florence, creating a frozen delicacy for the Medici court.

1960s
The Tribute

Badiani creates the "Buontalenti" cream with 4 simple ingredients (cream, milk, sugar, eggs) honouring the inventor.
