About La Romana Gelateria
La Romana Gelateria traces its origins back to 1947 in the historic centre of Rimini, Italy. It was named in honor of the founder’s daughter, and soon became beloved for its fresh, natural gelato crafted with purpose and passion. Vito Zucchi, the family patriarch, shaped the brand with creative spirit, selecting simple, high-quality ingredients and perfecting flavors that remain in the shops today. His sons, Ivano and Massimiliano, continue that legacy by maintaining the authentic recipes and artisanal.
