THE RISE OF ESPRESSO

This Italian premiere documentary, produced entirely by the Accademia del Caffè Espresso, is the choral tale of how Italian emigrants were the first great ambassadors of espresso coffee in the world. From Florence to New York, passing through the plantations of Brazil. The stories told in the documentary illustrate the transformation of espresso from an Italian tradition to a global cultural phenomenon.

The screening will be preceded by an Italian Coffee Breakfast with coffee and pastry products offered by Ditta Artigianale, the first café dedicated to specialty coffee in Italy.

The event is finished.
