CEO Alessandro Angelon spoke on the Sammontana Gelati all’Italiana launch saying, "For generations, Sammontana has represented the joy of Italian summer, the spontaneous smile that comes with a cone on a hot day, the shared pleasure of a family dessert, the timeless ritual of gelato. Today, we are proud to bring that spirit to New York. This launch is about bringing a piece of Italian life into the everyday rhythm of this city. We’re honored to share Sammontana’s story with a new audience and to begin building something truly lasting here in the U.S.”
