Description
Without music, life would be a mistake.
~ Friedrich Nietzsche
* ----------------------------- *
In the main square of Venice, in the Piazza San Marco, there is a world famous restaurant called the Caffe Florian. It is named after Floriano Francesconi.
Casonova frequented here (apparently because it was the only caffe to serve women at that time). The list of other famous persons who enjoyed their visits here is extensive; it includes such personalities as: Proust, Byron, Wagon, Goethe, Dickens, Rousseau, Rubinstein, Stravinsky, Modigliani, Balzac, and - more recently, during the filming of "The Tourist" - Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
While there is food here, that is not the main reason one comes here: it is for the Atmosphere .. and for the coffee: The Cafe Florian is the oldest coffee house in Italy - and the luxurious atmosphere of 'old' Venice, for the rituals and traditions it started with in 1720 remain today: the plush interior, jacketed waiters, service on silver trays, an orchestra that plays to a setting sun.
If you find an outdoor seat at Florian's in the summertime, prepare to be entertained.
This is an image of one of the musicians playing at Florian's, in the Square of Happy Memories (San Marco Square, Venice).
