Sad farewell: Eiscafé La Delizia remains in new shine!

In the picturesque Achim-Baden, an era ended. The ice cream parlor La Delizia, which was considered a fortress of Italian serenity in the region for over two decades, closes its doors. The long -time operator Angela Furiati, who launched the café with her late partner Luigi Della Coletta, says goodbye to a chapter that was shaped by love, creativity and unforgettable moments.

On Sunday, October 20, the ice cream parlor will close at 7 p.m. for the winter break, but not without a last swing. The end of the business operations symbolizes more than just the seasonal closure - it marks the farewell of Angela, which is now alone after her life partner has succumbed to his long fight against cancer in June this year.

continue a legacy

After the sad loss of Luigi, Angela Furiati decided to maintain the tradition of the ice cream parlor. For them it is a matter close to the heart: "I would like to thank everyone again that day," says the 55-year-old emotionally. Your partner was not only her great love, but also her family backbone. "My thoughts are at Luigi. He was my family, my second half," she explains.

The couple has led the café together since 2002 and, with its unconventional and passionate approach, has won many hearts to the ice kiere. Luigi, known for his open ear and his creative feeling, inspired the guests with his new recipe ideas and a heart for children. "If I had made it done, we would have built a pool at some point," says Angela with a laugh.

The two not only connected themselves as a partner in gastronomy, but also as humans. Her love originated in Rome, where they met in a café in 1990. At that time Luigi had the irresistible dream of opening an ice cream parlor - a wish that they put into reality in Germany years later.

After Luigi's death, Angela was faced with the challenge of leading the ice cream parlor alone. She reports that it was no longer the same without him. "The guests of our ice cream parlor have always gone to" Angela and Luigi "," she says, with the intimate connection of the two of them even after their divorce. The picture she paints from her time together is one of inseparable cooperation and mutual support.

The loyalty and the support of regular customers were unmistakable during the difficult times, especially during corona pandemic. Angela remembers a remarkable experience when a child gave her five euros for a ball of ice cream, and how moved her by a painted picture that gave her a girl - "Luigi shows how he distributes ice on the angels in heaven".

The future of the ice cream parlor

The Eiscafé La Delizia will not completely disappear from the landscape. Angela is pleased that Luan Dias and Inaia Trento, who worked in the café some time ago and are now leading a successful ice cream parlor called "Tutti Frutti". Angela is relieved about it: "You will continue in the sense of Luigi and me." The well -known faces Giovanna Adamante and Wesley Trento will also perform their functions in the café again next year.

Angela herself stays nearby and recently moved into an apartment at the Bremen Bürgerpark to fulfill the wish of her partner, who always urged that she took good care of herself. She plans to volunteer in various areas and also intends to regularly visit the ice cream parlor - "to see the employees and regular customers, and of course for ice cream." Your favorite varieties? Hazelnut and yoguret.

The Eiscafé La Delizia has conquered the hearts of the people in Achim-Baden over the years and remains not only a place of pleasure, but also a symbol of love and long-lasting between two people, whose history goes deeper than that of a small ice cream parlor. The last days of the season invite you to devote yourself to these memories. The opening times are daily from 2 p.m. to 7 p.m.
