How Italians sold ice cream to the masses
Tue, 3 August 2021
Residents of the Austrian capital have queued for more than 130 years to sample the Italian ice cream of the Molin-Pradel family, one of Vienna’s oldest gelato dynasties.
“He helped democratise ice cream, which before was reserved for the wealthy,” Silvio Molin-Pradel says of his great-great-grandfather Arcangelo, who began selling it out of pushcarts in Vienna in 1886.
More than a century later, ice cream consumption among Austrians is higher than in neighbouring Italy.
