By making ice-cream Rachele Brancatisano honours the memory of her nonna and the legacy of her ancestors “Each time I’m there serving cones I think to myself, ‘Nonna, this is for you’” 🖋️ Silvia Marchetti
“. The firm still exists and has several parlours in town but is apparently no longer run by the original family.brand in Newcastle up until last year when he died, then it passed into the hands of some other very distant relative in the UK, but now I don’t know if anyone from the family still runs it,” says Mrs Marcantoni, who has fond memories of visiting her British relatives in Newcastle and indulging in real Italian ice-cream.
For decades, the Marcantonis in Newcastle made money that they invested back in their native village, buying a huge mansion just outside the historic centre, adds Mrs Marcantoni. But they dropped the one-flavour original cream, instead selling all sorts of Italian-style multi-flavoured cones with pistachio and almonds.
It survived only in Picinisco, where Ms Brancatisano’s nonna Berenice ran the ice-cream shop from 1946 to 1983 when she died. It was shut for decades until her nephew and Ms Brancatisano re-opened it.The ice cream is made using traditional mahcinery and sometimes stirred by hand “It has a pleasant taste, it leaves your mouth fresh, clean, not greasy. Entire generations of children and pilgrims walking across this valley have snacked on a Berenice ice-cream cone, often topped with a black cherry.”
By making ice-cream she honours the memory of her nonna and the legacy of her ancestors. She grew up listening to tales of this sublime simple gelato that thrived in the UK and regrets that her grandmother died before seeing the revived ice-cream parlour.
