PUNTOITALY N°1 -January - June 2012

20 Shows LET THE CHALLENGE BEGIN “The fruits of land and sea” is the theme of the 5th edition of the World Gelato Cup scheduled to be held at Rimini from 21 to 24 January 2012, in the context of the Sigep International Expo.

The countries are Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Morocco, Mexico, Spain, United States and Switzerland.
