With <em>Corno Gelato<\/em>, she has created an innovative project that reinterprets the values of the Mediterranean Diet through artisanal gelato: genuine ingredients, seasonality, balance, and a strong connection to the land. Her brilliance in designing the shop\u2019s interior invites visitors into the rich and colorful world of Neapolitan folklore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naples boasts a long-standing gelato tradition that dates back to at least the 17th century, when the <em>monz\u00f9<\/em>-refined chefs serving aristocratic families-crafted sorbets and chilled creams for lavish feasts. The favorable Mediterranean climate and the abundance of local ingredients-such as citrus fruits, milk, almonds, and fresh produce-helped establish gelato as a symbol of Neapolitan culinary creativity. In Naples, gelato is more than a dessert: it is a social ritual, a daily pleasure, and a form of edible art.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A charming anecdote involves <strong>Giacomo Leopardi<\/strong>, the renowned Italian poet and philosopher, who developed a fondness for gelato during his stay in Naples. Despite his fragile health, he never gave up his favorite treat-particularly custard-flavored gelato-considering it one of life\u2019s rare and genuine joys. Within this rich historical and cultural context, Ornella Scaturchio\u2019s work with <em>Corno Gelato<\/em> breathes new life into a centuries-old tradition, restoring gelato to its original role as a noble, convivial, and deeply Mediterranean food-where flavor, memory, and artistry meet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interiew by: Giorgia Di Vicino<br>Video by: Leonardo Elemento, Viola Lo Russo, Christian Saracino, Alicia Martin Viscido<br>Video Editing by: Leonardo Elemento, Viola Lo Russo, Christian Saracino, Giorgia Di Vicino<br>Document by: Giorgia Di Vicino<br>Subtitle ita\/eng by: Giorgia Di Vicino, Leonardo Elemento, Viola Lo Russo, Christian Saracino, Maria L\u00f2pez, Alicia Martin Viscido, Michele Rovito<br>Translation by: Giorgia Di Vicino, Leonardo Elemento, Viola Lo Russo, Christian Saracino, Maria L\u00f2pez Ortiz, Alicia Mart\u00ecn Viscido<br>MedEatResarch \u2013 Center of Social Research on the Mediterranean Diet of the University of Naples Suor Orsola Benincasa, head by Marino Niola and Elisabetta Moro<br>Realized: 29\/04\/2025<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the heart of Neapolitan tradition, Ornella Scaturchio is a remarkable example of how family heritage can be renewed with vision and creativity.
