Pinguino is the chocolate-covered gelato on a stick invented at Gelateria Pepino on Piazza Carignano in 1939. Italy's original gelato-on-a-stick, the wrapper printed with a small penguin.
Pepino opened on Piazza Carignano in 1884 and patented Pinguino in 1939: vanilla gelato dipped in a thin layer of dark chocolate, served on a stick. The wrap was once printed with a small penguin, hence the name. The American Eskimo Pie was patented seventeen years earlier in 1922, but Pinguino remains Italy's original take on the form. Pepino still makes Pinguini in the original Piazza Carignano shop today, the wrappers collectible.
