When I was in Italy I was determined to sample as much gelato as possible. This picture presents a display of many flavors embellished with fruit and flowers and kept in silver-colored containers. Now I need to plan another trip to Italy and include lots of stops for gelato.

Yummy :-)
The gelato at that shop was delicious!
Love the silver-colored containers and gelato! Great choice, Meg :)
Thanks Amy! It was fun finding a picture of gelato for this theme… :)
The first sentence of this post made me smile and think ‘atta girl’. :-)
I knew that you would appreciate this Lorna! Gelato and Italy are a fine combination… :)
I love living vicariously through you Meg…eat some for me!!
I’m so happy to hear that! Gelato really is my favorite treat… :)
A gelato a day for me when I am in Italy.
I agree with you – gelato is an important part of a visit to Italy!
I’m with you on the gelato!
It’s always on my list of things to do in Italy!
Whoa, now THAT’s living!! :D I haven’t had gelato or ice cream for over a year [OUCHIES!], so have a double for me! (Wildberries and pineapple were my two favorites!)
Those flavors sound really delicious! I hope you have an opportunity to get some gelato (or ice cream) soon… :)
Silver never looked so good! ;)
I couldn’t agree more Patti – there’s just something about gelato!
How yummy. I want some right now.
I know what you mean! I’ve got to find a local gelato shop… :)
The ice cream look delicious!
It was and I had a difficult time choosing a flavor! That may be why I have to try all those samples… :)
I can’t wait to try gelato when I arrive in Italy this Spring! can you recommend any gelato places in Florence?
You’ll really enjoy the gelato there! I remember that there was a Gelato Festival in Florence in May so if it’s an annual event you’ll be able to try lots of flavors.
Hey – not to butt in, but when you have a “calling” for gelato, you just can’t help answering those in need! LOL! One of our favorite places in Florence is Gelateria dei Neri, located on Via Dei Neri 20-22r. It is close to Piazza della Signoria and the Uffizzi. Worth the visit!!
Thanks and I’m so glad that you could suggest a specific place in Florence. I’ll have to go there myself in the future!
Just way the word, and I’ll join you on this top level mission! LOL!
This is research at its best and I’m glad you understand how important it is!
This kind of silver is pure gold, in my view!
That’s what I think too – the silver plus the gelato are perfect!
One of my favourite kinds of silver :-)
It’s one of mine too! Gelato in a silver frame… :)
What a clever way to jump into the theme! Good way to highlight some of your favorite travel moments–finding the gelato! :-)
Thanks Debra! It’s always a good moment when I find a gelato shop in Italy… :)
You remind me of my visit to Italy many years ago. My hosts were eager for me to sample every gelato in every village or town we visited. At first it was fun but after a few days of endless gelatos….I could hardly bear the sight of them :D
It must have been too much of a good thing! I’ll have to keep that in mind so I don’t ever get tired of gelato… :)
Definitely too much of a good thing. They also fed me every Italian cake, pastry or biscuit in sight. But they were wonderful hosts and I did have a superlative holiday.
They sound like fantastic hosts and they offered you such delicious treats!
A wonderful photo, Meg! Wish I was there. :)
Thanks Shirley – I’d like to be in Italy too!
What a delicious … idea,Meg !!! The silver containers are shining,but the content is stealing the scene …
I thought that the gelato made those containers so much more interesting!
