The first coffee bar founded in Italy

Wrote at 11:43 by Stefano Urso in: Gossip Café,

The first bar in Italy was founded in Venice, during the year 1683, under the porticos of Procuratie, in S. Marco square. This “Bottega del caffè” (coffee shop) was opened thanks to the discover of a professional botanic (Mr. Prospero Alfino, 1553-1617) that during a long tour in Egypt, brought back to Venice the “black drinking with chicory taste” that was used as medicine. The coffee flavour and habit immediately spread all around Italy and so many coffee bars, where politicians, writers and poets used to meet in, opened very soon also in Turin, Genoa, Milan, Florence and Rome.

    I love this coffee maker, I used one all through my student days; so I recently bought one from Florence at twice the value if you include post. But nowhere on the Internet that I have seen, does anyone say that when you 'flip' the pot, if it is done .....
