Peter Peter »Gelato. Italienische Eiszeiten«

March 21, 2026 / 5 pm / Literature Café

LEIPZIG READS

Gelato al limone, cassata or stracciatella: ice cream is Italian. The Italians are convinced of this - and so is the rest of the world. And indeed: "granita" and "sorbetto" were invented in Sicily over a thousand years ago. The fact that Caterina de Medici made ice cream famous at the French royal court may only be legend - but the ice cream makers from the Dolomites, who brought the cold delicacies to Germany via Austria from the mid-19th century, are very real. In conversation with publisher Susanne Schüssler, Peter Peter tells the amazing story of the "gelato". (Wagenbach 2026)
