Brothers Bruto and Poeri Carlo Carpigiani created the famous "Gastecnica S.a.s dei fratelli Carpigiani" in 1944. Following the invention and patenting[1] of the first Batch (ice cream) Freezer 40 years before in 1904 by Emery Thompson of New Rochelle, New York, U.S.A.,
Carpigiani produced and patented an ice cream machine, named "Autogelatiera".

The technological growth in the 1960s brought Carpigiani to become the worldwide leader in the ice cream machinery, with the invention of the "hard-o-matic".
