Coffee Conversation Language Course

@coffeeconvolingua.bsky.social

In Italy, coffee is more than a drink—it’s a ritual.
Un caffè = espresso
Un cappuccino = only before 11am
Un macchiato = ‘stained’ coffee with milk

Which one would you order?”

Streetly Circle had an Italian evening at their August meeting. Several guests got into the spirit of the evening by wearing fancy dress, & they even had Gondoliers in attendance!

Typical of the type of fun local groups get up to during the year.

Tuscany (close to #Siena) - Early Morning

#Tuscany is one of the cradles of #WesternCivilization, and home to many European #ArtsAndCrafts, which is why we find so many Italian luxury brands and artists there.

Naples is the birthplace of pizza, dating back to the 18th century. 🍕 The city also sits near Mount Vesuvius, one of the world’s most famous volcanoes. Would you visit for the food, the history, or both? #Naples #ItalyFacts #ItalianCulture
