Travel Photo: Gelato in Italy

I know, this would be better to look at in the summer, when it is hot, but I think this is a nice photo. Those of you who have visited Italy have seen this type of display before. Gelato stores, like pizza parlors, are a major part of the storefronts in cities in Italy. In the USA, often we cannot actually see the ice cream, just the tubs. But in Italy I think every store does what they can to make the product very eye appealing. They keep the stainless steel containers with the gelato orderly and full of all kinds of flavors of gelato. The photo below pretty well tells the whole story. I will also tell you that the case was about twice that big, but this is as big as my photo turned out.

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, I want some. I would probably die if there was a store like that here, from eating to much.

Thanks a lot! My stomach was just fine until I saw that picture. I tihk I gained a few pounds just looking at it. I have heard of a couple local gelato shops but have never been to one. Did it taste as good as it looks? Is it softer or harder than ice cream?

It is really good.Basically it is just another name for ice cream. There are, however, some quite subtle differences based on reading I have done. Consistency is like ice cream.
