Hi, I am Italian, pregnant and live in UK. The ice cream in Italy is made by using pasteurised eggs and milk, so it is safe for us mums to be. You will find lots of “Gelaterie” (ice cream shops) Homemade ice cream can be made with raw eggs but no one actually make it at home anymore, it is cheaper (and better) from the shops. Also try the “granita” it is a grated ice with different flavours (lemon, orange, mint, coconut and many others). It is very refreshing especially if served with iced tea and a sweet roll (called brioche). Have fun in Rome and enjoy your ice creams! salmonella bacteria do not die below zero degrees Celsius! they only die over 100 degrees C.
