Magnum x Dante: “Inferno,” “Purgatorio, and “Paradiso” (2021)

Limited edition ice cream pops made in honor of the 700th anniversary of Dante’s death.  Purgatorio pop arriving in May-June, and Paradiso pop in July-August.

“Magnum, la più alta espressione del piacere nel mondo del gelato, celebra Dante con un omaggio alla sua Divina Commedia, la più alta espressione d’arte della storia della letteratura italiana.  A 700 anni dalla morte del Sommo Poeta, arrivano tre limited edition dedicate alle tre cantiche Dantesche, per vivere un’esperienza coinvolgente e sorprendente.  Un viaggio che inizia dal gusto intrigante dell’inferno, per poi assaporare la dimensione multi-sensoriale del purgatorio e raggiungere il suo apice con il piacere puro e delicato del paradiso.”    —Magnum (Last accessed March 6, 2021)

“’Magnum X Dante is a celebration of the highest expression of Italian literature with the highest expression of pleasure in the world of ice cream,’ comments Ben Curtis, Global Brand Director at Magnum. ‘Sunhouse really pushed visual equities of the brand to channel the richness and depth of this epic story, crafting brave creative work that immediately immerses consumers in Dante’s world. It’s divinely inspired, aesthetically powerful and absolutely aligned with Magnum’s ‘True to pleasure’ ethos.’”    —Packaging of the World (April 12, 2022)
