Italian Coffee Culture
Coffee is not just a drink in Italy: it is a daily ritual, a social moment, a national symbol and a real art. In every city, from North to South, Coffee represents a pause, an opportunity to meet and an expression of local identity. In this reading, we will learn about the history and tradition of this national drink and discover some of the most famous coffee shops in Italy.

La cultura del caffè in Italia
Il caffè non è semplicemente una bevanda in Italia: è un rito quotidiano, un momento sociale, un simbolo nazionale e una vera e propria arte. In ogni città, dal nord al sud, il caffè rappresenta una pausa, un’occasione di incontro e un’espressione dell’identità locale. In questa lettura impareremo la storia e la tradizione di questa bevanda nazionale e scopriremo alcune delle caffetterie più famose d’Italia.
