The gelateria in its territory

This listing is part of the guide to artisanal gelaterie in Umbria, which follows 58 counters across the region: the regional pages gather the addresses town by town, with maps and practical details.

Listing information comes from public sources — including OpenStreetMap — and from the guide’s archive: the editorial team verifies and enriches it over time, and when a piece of data is not confirmed it is left out rather than invented. No listing is paid for.

Artisanal gelato in Italy: the context for this listing

Italy counts tens of thousands of gelato shops, but the truly artisanal counters give themselves away in the details: a flavor list that changes with the weeks, believable colors, covered tubs that protect the product instead of showing it off.

The cone remains one of the country’s most democratic rituals: a good counter turns up in historic centres and provincial towns alike, and it is often off the tourist routes that the laboratories surprise the most.

Italian artisanal gelato is not a single product: it is a geography. Every region has brought its own ingredients to the counter — Bronte pistachio in Sicily, hazelnut in Piedmont, bergamot in Calabria, alpine milk in the north — and every city has its reference counters, often handed down through generations.

The guide gathers gelaterie region by region: from the regions page you can drill down to the city and to each individual listing.

How to use the guide starting from this listing

From here you can go back up to the gelaterie page and pick a region from the map: every regional page lists the counters town by town, with their listings linked. If you already have a name in mind, the homepage search is faster — it digs through thousands of listings by name, city and region.

The richest listings show address, map, hours and contact details; this is one of the leaner ones, and it will grow as public sources confirm new data. In the meantime the usual criteria for spotting a serious counter still apply: seasonality, natural colors, covered tubs.

What to taste at the counter

Two well-chosen tastes are enough to judge a gelateria: one “naked” flavor like fior di latte, which forgives no shortcuts, and a sorbet of the season. The regional symbol flavor — dark chocolate for Umbria — is the guide’s recommended third stop.

One last counter-side clue: a flavor board that changes with the weeks. A short, seasonal list almost always says more than an endless display.
