The man who introduced many Winnipeggers to the delights of gelati has died.

Gino Nucci, who opened his business on Corydon Avenue 50 years ago, passed away Sunday at the age of 72.

Nucci’s Gelati, one of the original businesses in the heart of Winnipeg’s Little Italy, was one of the first gelati establishments to create non-dairy and sugar-free gelato in Winnipeg.

Nucci is survived by his wife Rosa and children Emilio and Maria.

The family continues to run the business but is closed until Monday.
