Badiani’s Heritage: Perfecting the art of gelato making for over 90 years.
Founded in Florence in 1932, Badiani has a rich history of crafting exceptional gelato. The heritage is deeply rooted in the legacy of Paolo Pomposi, whose passion for gelato was inherited from his father, a master gelato maker. Paolo’s innovative approach mirrors that of Bernardo Buontalenti, the Florentine creator of gelato, focusing on creativity and the finest ingredients.
Badiani’s signature flavour, named Buontalenti in honour of the inventor, is crafted with only four ingredients: milk, cream, sugar, and eggs. This flavour embodies the art of gelato making, focusing on quality and tradition.
