Goodbye to Paolo’s ice cream shop: Verona loses another “sweet” piece of neighborhood history.
Another piece of Verona’s history closes its doors: the shutters of the Asky coffee gelateria da Paolo in via 4 Novembre, in the heart of Borgo Trento in Verona, have been definitively lowered. This historic commercial establishment, located in a strategic point between Piazza Vittorio Veneto and Ponte della Vittoria which connects the neighborhood with the historic center, was one an obligatory stop for those wishing to spend a peaceful afternoon.
The ice cream shop it was also famous for its “roasted chestnut” ice creams“, an authentic delight that evoked memories autumn flowers and the scent of chestnuts in Piazza delle Erbe. The Husky cafe was more than just a place to enjoy ice cream; It was a point of reference for the community, a place where people met to chat and share special moments.
No, the windows are covered with sheets of paper, and the only sign of its existence is a signleft by the owners Anna and Roberto, who sadly announces the definitive closure. In the message, they themselves explain how difficult the decision to close was and how grateful they are to their customers for the years of loyalty and support.
The The closure of the ice cream shop is not only a loss for Borgo Trento, but for all of Verona. Another piece of local history and tradition vanishes, leaving behind only sweet and nostalgic memories.
