The other day, a real monument of culture closed in Rome – the famous Antico Caffè Greco cafe, which has been operating for over 260 years. Corriere della Sera writes that this establishment is not just a coffee shop, but a real monument of culture, within whose walls great writers once worked.
Antico Caffè Greco was located in the center of Rome, next to luxury brand boutiques. The business first opened its doors to visitors in 1760. The interiors of the coffeehouse had a unique atmosphere. There were dozens of paintings and sculptures in the halls of the cafe, which have now been transported to a warehouse for storage.
