interventions: Neapolitan

One of the most famous ice cream recipes came from Italy, a cultural center and home of the modern ice cream. Their invention was Neapolitan ice cream, which received much attention after it was released to public in early 19th century, by Italian ice cream maker named Giuseppe Tortoni who lived in Paris.With Renaissance trading routes between Europe and distant Asia, Italian chefs were the first one who saw the potential of ice creams.  Neapolitan ice cream was named in the late 19th century as a reflection of its origins in the cuisine of the Italian city of Naples, and the many Neapolitan immigrants who brought their expertise in frozen desserts with them to the United States. Spumone was introduced to the United States in the 1870s as Neapolitan-style ice cream.
