When Brian and I were in Italy in 1994, we instituted a rule. The "daily gelato" rule. In Italian it is "gelato quotidiano". It's pretty self-explanatory: one must eat gelato each day. It was pretty rough, but we managed it. :-) It was so successful that when we were back in Italy in 2000, we kept the rule. I'm sure with two kids, we won't be allowed to forget this "rule". And, I'm excited to see and compare the differences throughout Italy. Florence is supposed to have the best gelato, but I'm also excited to try gratina for breakfast in Sicily!
Here's some information about how to find authentic quality gelato and what makes gelato different than American ice cream: http://www.inspireddiversions.com/article.cfm?DET=1&id_art=123
