SICILIAN BAR

For an Italian, entering a bar for a coffee is ordinary and everyday, almost taken for granted even if the origin of coffee is elsewhere, among Ethiopia, Turkey and Austria. It is the place, as saied, of the coffee, the brioche, the aperitif or granita. It is the synthesis of the conviviality of the country. We meet, discuss, play cards. The atmosphere is familiar, friendly. A smile and a word will always be available to the foreigner. To say it in the words of Luciano De Crescenzo, a famous Italian writer, director, actor and philosopher: have you ever wondered what coffee is? Coffee is an excuse. An excuse to tell a friend that you love him .
