More than a cafe, better than a bookstore: the Caffè Letterario tradition started four centuries ago in Europe when artists and writers used to meet in a public place, to exchange experiences, comments, and ideas on their work.
The "Caffè letterario" has changed over time. Today it is that place where literature-lovers gather to drink a cup of coffee while enjoying their favorite books and listening to music.
