But there are those who claim that it was the Sicilian Francesco Procopio dei Coltelli, who invented gelato and founded the Gelateria Cafe Procope in Paris, where he sold a wide variety of gelato and coffee. Both Italians made gelato the world’s favorite cold dessert, made with a mixture of lemon, sugar, honey, wine, egg and milk.
