Machine translation, like DeepLorGoogle Translate, is a useful starting point for translations, but translators must revise errors as necessary and confirm that the translation is accurate, rather than simply copy-pasting machine-translated text into the English Wikipedia.
Do not translate text that appears unreliable or low-quality. If possible, verify the text with references provided in the foreign-language article.

Spumoni (sg.: spumone) is a molded gelato made with layers of different colors and flavors, usually containing candied fruits and nuts.[1][2] It comes from the Italian word spuma, meaning 'foam'.[2]
Its origins can be traced back to the late 19th century.[3] The Italian version of spumoni is often lightened with whipped cream.[4] They are usually placed in molds especially made for spumoni, although other molds can be used.[5]
Typically, it is of three flavors. Cherry, pistachio and either chocolateorvanilla are the typical flavors of the ice cream layers in the United States, and the fruit/nut layer often contains cherry bits—causing the traditional red/pink, green and brown color combination.
