                           History of Gelato (another)

There are a few diferent stories but no one is certain about who invented Gelato.

Some are certain it was the chinese by mixing snow with fruit, then Marco Polo(1254-1324) learned from them, he told the young cooks that worked for Caterina de' Medici, but as most stories go, Gelato is credited to Bernardo Buontalenti,  a native of Florence, who delighted Catherina dei Medici with his creation in the 16th century. Italians are certainly credited with introducing Gelato to the rest of Europe. Francesco Procopio dei Coltelli who was one of the most important individuals in the history of Gelato, he was the first to sell it to the public. In 1686 he opened a cafe named after himself called "Cafe Procope" which became a very popular spot, it is still in operation, when you visit Paris make sure you visit the oldest operating cafe in the world located at 13 Rue de L'Ancienne Comedie. In Italy meanwhile the art of traditional gelato making was passed from father to son.

The first gelato machine or ice cream machine was invented in England by Thomas Masters in 1843,

In 1851 Jacob Fussell jr. a dairy distributor, in 180 Exter St, Baltimore, opens the first ice cream factory, in the USA, it sold for 25 cents per liter, latter a factory in Washington (1862),  new York (1864).
