From software logic to gelato balancing
Andrea Bandiera brings together lab work, technical training and software development to read gelato as a craft product, a process and a working system.
Interview
Saliremo, 23 September 2026
An account of the path from programming to gelato, from Cremeria Scirocco to ReadyTGO, with training and consulting built on daily work in the lab.

A trajectory built through calculation, counter work and tasting
Software and development
Before gelato, the professional path moved through software design and firmware for microprocessors.
An entrepreneurial choice
At 36, Andrea left a stable job, invested his severance pay and took out a mortgage to open a gelato shop that did not yet exist.
Cremeria Scirocco opens
The Bologna gelato shop becomes the daily lab where production method and customer response are tested.
Family business
Mara Cervi joins Cremeria Scirocco, strengthening the business project and front-counter work.
From the lab to software
Professional courses, technical consulting, ReadyTGO and the Agentic System Workshop grow out of the same problems tackled in the lab every day.
Method
Measure, monitor, correct
Start in the lab
Cremeria Scirocco remains the place where recipes, processes and organization are checked before becoming a method for others.
Read before changing
Taste and costs are read as structure: ingredients, temperatures, sugars, fats, water and stability need to stay in balance.
Build useful tools
ReadyTGO and the agentic system turn recipes, price lists and production decisions into readable, verifiable and reusable data.
Cremeria Scirocco
The counter as a coherence test
The gelato shop is where research, seasonality, classic flavors, sorbets, gastronomic ideas and customer requests meet.
- Gelato shop active in Bologna since 2005.
- The article describes a broad production range with classics, sorbets, granite and gastronomic gelato.
- Cremeria Scirocco is treated as concrete evidence of technical work, not only as biography.
Applied research
When gelato becomes a technical language
The work spans gastronomic gelato, special projects, teaching, professional training and industry collaborations.
- Gastronomic gelato and savory flavors.
- One-to-one and online training paths.
- Aproteic gelato project linked to I Fagioli Ribelli and Carpigiani Gelato University.
- Recipe book connected to family memory and Bologna food traditions.
