PRIYA AHLAWAT CAFFÈ FLORIAN’S SALON OF MIRRORS

Caffè Florian’s Salon of Mirrors is from my trip to Venice in Italy, and of the oldest Coffeehouse in Italy, and in the world— Caffè Florian. Its windows have silently witnessed some incredible history unfold inside and outside for three centuries. This timeless institution has been serving coffee on a silver tray with a water chaser and a cookie to locals and visitors of the lagoon city since 1720. The Coffeehouse feels like a jewel box with a series of intimate ornate gilded Neo-Baroque Salons and history continues to live in these gem-like rooms. The Salon in this piece is known as Sala degli Specchi (Salon of Mirrors).
