There are two
new reasons to visit the top end of the city: gelati and cheese. Join the queue at
Gelaterie
Primavera
for fresh gelati with a daily changing selection scooped from traditional
pozzetti
(metal tubs fitted in the counter benchtop). Or head down the winding staircase to reach the
pungent 'cheese cave', an atmospheric maturation cheese cellar with an impressive selec-
tion of international cheeses.
