Just have a seat at these places, take a coffee or an aperitif and you immediately have the pleasant feeling of jumping back in time, where relics, art works or vintage furniture recall memories of famous personalities intertwining with the historical events of our country. Some became fast food places or boutiques. More than 120 still survive, and we would like to tell and keep these places alive in our memories, which continue pages of history and culture of our Bella Italia with pride and courage. In Tuscany, between the Val di Chiana and Val d\u2019Orcia, a small Borgo called Montepulciano, land of conquer- ors and art lovers, arises. History returns a picture of a locus amaenus, where maritime and hilly landscapes intertwine to give life to a pastel-coloured painting.<\/p>\n<p>In this pearl of Tuscany, a coffee shop between the alleys of town arises in 1868, \u201cCaff\u00e8 Poliziano\u201d. Well-known cultural gathering in liberty style, Caff\u00e8 Poliziano en- joys the rep of historical Italian coffee shops, where great Italian writers, such as Carducci and Pirandello used to take a break. The setting one gets into by cross- ing the elegant entrance is the one of a refined place where every single detail has been chosen and selected with carefulness by those who spent their whole energy to offer moments of endless carefreeness.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-10000665 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/6a00d83452163e69e20167606afe9e970b-1.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img width=\"516\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/6a00d83452163e69e20167606afe9e970b-1.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/6a00d83452163e69e20167606afe9e970b-1.jpg 516w, https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/6a00d83452163e69e20167606afe9e970b-1-194x300.jpg 194w, https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/6a00d83452163e69e20167606afe9e970b-1-450x698.jpg 450w, https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/6a00d83452163e69e20167606afe9e970b-1-387x600.jpg 387w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 516px) 100vw, 516px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/729e2f6ca02848f77a86c0891c33afca-e1520956021656.jpg' title=\"\" data-rl_title=\"\" class=\"rl-gallery-link\" data-rl_caption=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-gallery-1\"><img width=\"516\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/729e2f6ca02848f77a86c0891c33afca-e1520956021656.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/729e2f6ca02848f77a86c0891c33afca-e1520956021656.jpg 516w, https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/729e2f6ca02848f77a86c0891c33afca-e1520956021656-194x300.jpg 194w, https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/729e2f6ca02848f77a86c0891c33afca-e1520956021656-450x698.jpg 450w, https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/729e2f6ca02848f77a86c0891c33afca-e1520956021656-387x600.jpg 387w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 516px) 100vw, 516px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 1em; letter-spacing: 0em;\"><span class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10000541\" src=\"http:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/caffe-gambrinus-napoli.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"833\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/caffe-gambrinus-napoli.jpg 833w, https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/caffe-gambrinus-napoli-300x288.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/caffe-gambrinus-napoli-768x738.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/caffe-gambrinus-napoli-450x432.jpg 450w, https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/caffe-gambrinus-napoli-625x600.jpg 625w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 833px) 100vw, 833px\" \/><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The sinuous counter, the wall upholstery by William Morris, the wall mirrors and glass decorated with graphical motifs of yore give those who are drinking even just a coffee a further reason to stay. Jewel of the crown of this vintage gem is the large caf\u00e9 including a hall boasting panoramic views, where one can taste the forty specialities of tea and infusions, as well as the rigorously hand-made pastries, such as the almond cantuccini. No less are the enogastronomic specialities of the luxurious restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the culinary specialities can be accompanied by the \u201cnoble of Montepulciano\u201d, wine impregnated with scents and flavours of the valley, where it has been producing for ages. Caff\u00e8 Poliziano once again proves to be a real hangout even after years, featuring a unique retro taste, where every client is considered an essential piece of a puzzle made of refinement, class and good taste. Even the great Federico Fellini loved to stop there during his trips to Tuscany, and you never know, maybe Caff\u00e8 Poliziano was the poetical inspiration of \u201cLa dolce vita\u201d, one of the most successful cinematographic works of all times.<br \/>\n<span class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10000533\" src=\"http:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/134746175975713109348_DSC_6854.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/134746175975713109348_DSC_6854.jpg 800w, https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/134746175975713109348_DSC_6854-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/134746175975713109348_DSC_6854-768x510.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thesignmoak.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/134746175975713109348_DSC_6854-450x299.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/span><span style=\"font-size: 1em; letter-spacing: 0em;\">Song suggested to read this article: <\/span><a style=\"font-size: 1em; letter-spacing: 0em;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iJLQIsGyazA&amp;feature=youtu.be\"><span class=\"s34\">Just Friends &#8211; Chiara Izzi<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a large list of famous men and women that frequented historical caf\u00e9s in Italy.
