G EORGE R OBERT S IMS, Living London, 1900 À sa manière, Gatti n’appartient pas tant à Londres qu’à l’Angleterre, et au monde entier. Carlo Gatti (vers 1870) 1 NICOLAS Carlo Gatti converted his premises into confectioners’ shops and cafés. {…} Carlo’s establishments were an immediate hit. {…} Ices had previously been a luxury for the idle rich, and this was the first time in England that they became available to the poor. Again he enjoyed spectacular success. On a sunny Summer day, he insisted to a parliamentary board of enquiry a few years later, he sold thousands of ices to people who strolled across Hungerford Bridge. P ETER B ARBER A Curious Colony , Leicester Square and the Swiss Carlo Gatti avait transformé ses locaux en confiseries et en cafés. {…} Ces établissements ont eu un succès retentissant. {…} Jusque-là, les glaces avaient été un luxe réservé aux riches oisifs, c’était la première fois en Angleterre qu’elles étaient à la portée des pauvres. Ici aussi, le succès a été spectaculaire. Par un dimanche ensoleillé, racontait-il à une commission d’enquête parlementaire quelques années plus tard, il vendait des milliers de glaces aux passants qui traversaient le pont de Hungerford. — 3— I « O S IGNUR ! Ma à l’è un bagaï! » Il ne parle pas comme nous. C’était il y a près de cinquante ans, mais je revois cet instant comme si c’était hier. Je revois cette main, qui me semble énorme, s’avancer dans mon trou.
