PRESS RELEASE<\/strong><\/p>\n

With deep sorrow, we announce that last night Mauro Petrini<\/strong> passed away \u2014 a dear friend, master gelato maker, and member of the board of the Gelato World Cup (GWC)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

He had been ill for some time and had been absent from the competition stage for years, though never from the memories of those who knew and admired him. A true professional and ambassador of Italian artisanal gelato, Mauro Petrini decided in 1978 to leave a career in engineering to devote himself with passion to the family business, \u201cGelateria Petrini dal 1926.\u201d<\/em> Since then, he has played a key role in the growth and international recognition of artisanal gelato, also contributing to the sector as an instructor at Carpigiani Gelato University<\/strong> and ALMA<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

He leaves us an enduring legacy of elegance, humor, and genuine passion for his craft.
\nTo his family \u2014 his sons Dario<\/strong>, who continues the family tradition, and Alessandro<\/strong>, who lives and works in Australia \u2014 we extend our deepest condolences.<\/p>\n

Today, the global gelato community loses a true reference point, but his example will continue to inspire us all.<\/p>\n
