Caffe San Marco

🔆 Trieste is a beautiful place. The people here are philosophical. The sunset here shines with golden afterglow. The church bells here are solemn. ——Proust -------------------------------- Chinese literary history is often associated with wine, so-called "a hundred poems after a jug of wine". Most Western writers are addicted to coffee. This magical brown-black liquid can be called the "magic potion" of Western literature. Trieste in northern Italy has attracted so many writers and artists, not only because it is sandwiched between many countries and ethnic groups, and is particularly free and unrestrained, but also because it is the coffee capital of Italy. This coastal city has the largest coffee port in the Mediterranean. The first automatic espresso coffee machine was created here. The inventor created a coffee kingdom with his last name "illy". The people of Trieste, the annual coffee consumption is twice that of other places in Italy, locals and those who live here - Joyce, Proust, Umberto Saba, Stendhal, Rilke... "Either in the cafe, or on the way to the cafe." 🔆【Cultural Landmark: San Marco Cafe】 The most famous cafe in the city, is San Marco Cafe, which opened in 1914, has beautiful bright yellow walls and dark seats, and the ceiling is decorated with copper coffee leaves. The striking antique coffee machine brings you the "authentic traditional" Italian coffee. There is a bookstore in the store, which reminds us of the past when authors and philosophers gathered here to read aloud. Coffee and the fragrance of books blend into the unique flavor of Trieste. Claudio Magris, an Italian writer born in Trieste, wrote in his book "Miniature World" that he started from a café in his hometown and traveled through valleys, lagoons, forests, plateaus... It was Magris himself who personally saved the San Marco Café, which was once on the verge of bankruptcy. In Trieste, empires have collapsed and disappeared, nationalities have changed, but Café San Marco remains the same as it was in the past, and is the home of people's souls. -------------- Caffe San Marco 📍Address: Via Cesare Battisti 18, 34125, Trieste, Italy ⏰Opening hours: Closed on Monday Trieste Province of Trieste #Spring is coming #Spring city micro vacation #Travel time stolen by the epidemic #Travel with movies
