A party... for charity In April this year, Barbara celebrated the first ten years of her business with the “Gelato Champions in celebration” initiative. The event was animated by six gelato maestros who have won the Coppa d’Oro competition over the past few years, just like Barbara did: Giuseppe Zerbato, Roberto Galligani, Andrea Cabano, Curzio Baraggi, Genti Ashiku and from Utrecht (in the Netherlands) Roberto Coletti. And so, exclusive original flavours were made, and a free tasting was offered to all the participants. Francesco Falasconi also spoke, as he was one of the members of the Gelato World Cup 2012 winning team: he was entrusted with the task of making a series of ice sculptures that left the public… in awe. But that’s not all. The event also had a charitable purpose: it was an opportunity to raise funds for Rivolta d’Adda’s preschool, which will be used to carry out many projects for young children. Another “winning formula” developed by Barbara! 35
