Caffè Pedrocchi
A neoclassical café opened in 1831, once known as the café without doors, and famous for its mint coffee.
Designed by Japelli, the ground floor has three rooms in red, white and green, the colours of the Italian flag. In the 19th century it was a meeting place for students and intellectuals, and bullet marks from the 1848 uprising against Austrian rule are still visible on the walls. The house specialty, Caffè Pedrocchi, is an espresso topped with mint cream and cocoa powder. The upper floor, the Noble Floor, houses the Museum of the Risorgimento, with admission of about €4.
