History of the National Ice Cream Cone Day
In the year of 1902, an England ice cream merchant, Antonio Valvona, patented a biscuit cup to hold ice cream. But the Valvona’s patent predates one by Italo Marchiony for about a year. Marchioni did the official birth of the ice cream cone. Marchioni was an ice-cream seller in New York City, and he has immigrated from Italy. He applied for a patent for his cone on September 22, 1903. And now that day became the national ice cream cone day. Marchioni claimed that he has been making cones to hold ice cream since 1896. This is how the amazing cone was born, and today we have a lot of varieties in ice cream cones. There is no authentic date in the history of the national ice cream cone, but the day was created to celebrate the cone’s work and enjoy its taste.
