Sammontana is an Italian ice cream manufacturer based in Empoli, Italy founded in 1948 when brothers Renzo, Sergio and Loriano Bagnoli started selling ice cream made in their father's bar outside of Empoli.[1] As of 2008, Sammontana has a combined market share of 20% with its "Sammontana" (13%) and "Sanson" (7%) brands.[2]
The company innovated in both the production and distribution of ice cream.[3]
