Created by the commitment and spirit of collaboration on the part of leading stakeholders in the system (UIF and SIGEP), the Il gelato artigianale website has been in close touch with gelato-makers, enterprises, trade fairs, bars, restaurants, pastry shops, etc. throughout this Covid-19 (Coronavirus) lockdown.
