The story
Gelateria The Pop sits quietly on the shores of Lake Trasimeno in Castel del Piano, a gem that hasn't yet made waves in nearby Perugia's gelato scene. Creator Giovanni Fois discovered the shop during his Umbria food tour, highlighting its exceptional millefoglie and pistachio gelato as standout reasons to seek it out. The gelateria's understated presence belies the quality of its offerings—a reminder that some of the region's best frozen treats hide away from the tourist trail, waiting for curious travelers willing to venture off the beaten path.
