Brothers Ron and Bob Palagi have been keeping a family tradition alive that started in 1896. Their great uncle Peter Palagi Sr. was born in Italy and eventually made his way to America where he started his family business in 1896. Back then the Palagi's used the horse and buggy as their form of transportation. The ice cream shop and horse barn was located on Water St. in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. It was there where the Palagi's produced their delicious popsicles fudgsicles and ice cream.
