Wiktoria Górska-Kijanka
"La Marianna in Bergamo is a historic café and gelateria, renowned as the birthplace of stracciatella ice cream. In 1953, the café was purchased by Oriana and Enrico Panattoni, a couple from Tuscany. Enrico Panattoni invented stracciatella ice cream in 1961, drawing inspiration from the traditional Italian stracciatella soup, where beaten eggs are drizzled into broth. He mimicked this technique by drizzling melted chocolate into milk-based ice cream, which hardened and shattered into delicate shreds, creating the ice cream's signature texture. La Marianna still serves this iconic flavour, preserving its traditional recipe. "

"Famous for inventing stracciatella gelato! Stracciatella is the Italian chocolate chip ice cream flavor. They have a ton of flavors though, as well as baked goodies. "
