La Fonte

The Pro Loco presents La Fonte as an artisan ice-cream shop, and already in 2013 the shop's page on the old oltreilcolle.com portal spoke of home-made ice cream in many flavours. No list of today's flavours is published.

In July 2023 the Comitato Gelatieri Bergamaschi of Ascom Confcommercio, with Bergamo milk from Lactis and other partners, created for Bergamo Brescia Capital of Culture a flavour based on milk, cream and polenta, which member shops were to offer until the end of the year. Among the 26 on the list published by La Voce delle Valli and Prima Bergamo was La Fonte, the only one in the Val Serina.

Next to the ice-cream counter La Fonte sells pizza by the slice and takeaway pizzas. In 2013 the shop published online a list of about forty pizzas, telephone ordering and home delivery between 6 and 8 pm for a small surcharge. The 2026 advertisement confirms home delivery but gives neither times nor charges, and no up-to-date price list is online: ask on the phone.

The campaign is run every year by the Gruppo Gelatieri Bergamaschi of Confcommercio Bergamo. Members get compulsory and professional training courses, from food safety to intolerances and sales, advice and visibility on the association's channels: it is a membership campaign, not a ranking.

In 2025 there were 21 members across the city and the province, and La Fonte was the only one in the Val Serina. In 2026 it appears on the list of participating businesses published on the Gelatieri Bergamaschi website, with the address via Roma 211.

The house number is 211 in the shop's advertisement and in the Gelatieri Bergamaschi list, 221 in the council's list; the point on the map is that of number 211 in the national register of house numbers. The shop is a few metres from the Pro Loco office, about twenty from the Bar Cristallo and about fifty from the parish church of San Bartolomeo and the piazza Tiraboschi bus stop.

By car, OpenStreetMap maps spaces along via Roma about thirty metres away and a free public car park towards Piazzale degli Alpini about seventy metres away. Arriva's line B reaches piazza Tiraboschi Monday to Saturday only.
