"Located in the heart of the old town, Place Rossetti is one of the essential and picturesque squares of Nice due to its central location, its sumptuous Cathedral and the famous Fenocchio ice cream parlor which delights passers-by.

The Rossetti family provides many notabilities to the city and the County of Nice; it was Charles Rossetti de Châteauneuf who bequeathed the land in front of the cathedral to the city; this legacy allowed in 1825, the demolition of the building built opposite the Sainte Réparate cathedral, and thus offer a real forecourt to it, while widening the square.

But what makes this place one of the most popular with the people of Nice and especially holidaymakers, is certainly the emblematic "Fenocchio" glacier. For more than 55 years, this is where gourmets meet to taste one of the original ice creams offered by the house."

"Située au cœur de la vieille ville, la Place Rossetti est l’une des places incontournable et pittoresque de Nice par son emplacement central, sa somptueuse Cathédrale et le célèbre glacier Fenocchio qui régale les passants.

La famille Rossetti fournit de nombreuses notabilités à la ville et au Comté de Nice ; c'est Charles Rossetti de Châteauneuf qui légua à la ville les terrains devant la cathédrale ; ce leg permit en 1825, la démolition de l'immeuble bâti en face de la cathédrale Sainte Réparate, et offrir ainsi, un vrai parvis à celle-ci, tout en élargissant la place.

Mais ce qui rend ce lieu l’un des plus prisé par les niçois et surtout les vacanciers, c’est certainement l’emblématique glacier « Fenocchio ». Depuis plus de 55 ans, c’est ici que les gourmands se retrouvent pour déguster l’une des glaces originales proposées par la maison. "
