Large flows of tourists arrive in Italy throughout the year. This country really has something to see. Travelers are attracted by the many attractions and activities. But the main event in May is the annual Florence Ice Cream Festival.
For the first time the Ice Cream Festival was held in 2010. The main purpose of such a holiday was the opportunity to advertise the ice cream produced in Florence and glorify it all over the world. The fact is that this Italian city has a rich history of the founding of the ice cream industry, the founder of which was Bernardo Buontalenti. In 1959, in the 20th century, He invented and patented a delicacy called "Florentine Cream". Since then, the descendants have kept the recipe, and over the years the taste of this ice cream has not changed.
Both the residents of the country and the tourists liked the ice cream festival so much that it was decided to make it an annual event. It is held in the third decade of May, and, despite the fact that the festival has been held not so long ago, all the sweet tooth of the world already know about it. The event is held for five days, during which festive festivities are held on the streets of the city from 12 noon to midnight. During this time, everyone has time to visit the festival.
On the first day of the festival, the main festive procession takes place in Piazza Santa Maria Novella. All those present are told about the exhibitions that are presented to their attention. In addition to the large amount of ice cream to taste, the organizers of the festival take care of entertainment for the guests of the festival. An extensive festive program does not let anyone get bored.
But the main thing at such a festival is, of course, ice cream. Various brands will showcase their products in numerous stalls in the squares of Florence. All those present can not only taste a variety of delicacies, but also try to make ice cream on their own. By the way, the guests of the holiday will be able to taste the very "Florentine cream", the taste of which has remained the same as in the middle of the 20th century. If you still doubt whether to visit Florence in the third decade of May, but at the same time love ice cream very much, then put all doubts aside. Such an event cannot be ignored.
