The swedish Hosanna Amanuel, winner of the technical jury with her "Almond Deluxe", and the dutch Steff Janssen with a taste of apricot and almond were also on the podium. The challenge of the Tonda Challenge launched by Ifi to all the gelato chefs competing with the aim of creating the perfect 60 gram cup was won by the spanish Stefano Rosso Viera of the Fragola shop in Tenerife with two 58 and 60 gram weighs.

Overcoming the competition of the other 13 young gelato makers from 6 countries, Adam Fazekas won the gold medal created by the goldsmith Paolo Penko and the access to the final at 36 scheduled for September 2021, the challenge for the best artisan gelato makers of the planet that has already qualified Eugenio Morrone (winner of the All Stars last year) and Giuseppe Cimino (winner of the first German final), plus the first two "American" finalists Mike Guerriero and Diego Comparin. In two days of tastings, Rome tasted a total of almost two tons of high quality artisan gelato - in addition to those in the competition there were the taste of AirItaly made by Massimiliano Scotti, those of the Italian Gelato Makers Association headed by Eugenio Morrone, those of the Sicilian tradition of Elenka - and witnessed the cooking show by chef Massimo Viglietti.

Since then, the event has expanded its boundaries expanding first in the rest of Italy, then in Europe and - from 2017 - also in the United States, with a total of 64 Festivals, before embracing the whole planet with the Gelato Festival World Masters 2021 world championship.
