6 marzo 1600 anni - COFFEE IN EUROPE

Descrizione:

Coffee enters Europe through the port of Venice. The first Italian coffeehouse opens in Italy in 1683. Pope Clemente VIII was requested by some of his monks to outlaw the “Muslim” brew. He declined and said, "This beverage is so good it would be a sin to let only pagans drink it!" His subsequent "baptism" of coffee propelled its spread across Europe.
