The café used to be two plain rooms with no windows until it moved to its current location. Caffè Florian was granted permission thanks to its distinguished clientele of aristocrats and international ambassadors. The Caffè Florian at Piazza San Marco is a historical icon, one of the few locations where you can still feel the beautiful ambience of the cafés of the last era, cherished by the international jet-set. Caffe Greco in Rome, which opened four decades after Caffe Florian, attracts a continuous stream of distinguished and ordinary patrons every day. While it is the oldest cafe in Italy, it is hardly the unique one that has been there for centuries. Cafe Florian_©Marja van Bochove The magnificient icon

Caffe Florian is celebrating its 300th anniversary this year with a series of exhibits and cultural activities featuring contemporary and ancient Italian artists. While Caffe Florian commemorated its 200th celebration in 1920, it added an art nouveau-styled room to the restaurant.
It has remained a bustling cafe ever since despite being severely damaged by the Venice flood, it has not closed its doors and remains to operate despite the challenges it faces. Outside Caffe Florian, the world’s oldest café_©Son of Groucho Indeed, in eighteenth-century Venetian cafes, notably during Carnival season, every kind of transgression had been on the menu, thus the Serenissima Republic’s government sought to limit their attendance. The Florian watched the history of Venice flow between its fine tables and the Piazza in front of it, making it a popular venue for artists, intellectuals, historians, and fortune seekers. The Venice Biennale has been held in one of the cafe’s salons, Senate Hall (Sala del Senato), since 1985, and is based on a concept by Italian poet Ricardo Selvatico. Lodovico Cadorin, with the help of the best Venetian artists and artisans, completely rebuilt the café in 1858. Caffè Florian remained in the Francesconi family until the middle of the nineteenth century, after which it changed hands multiple times. The Caffè Florian, the ancient Italian café, opened on December 29, 1720, under the iconic doorway of the Procuratie Nuove, with the name “Alla Venezia Trionfante.” It was overwhelmingly christened “Florian” after the owner, Floriano Francesconi, in a short time. Exterior Elevation of café Florian_©Sacra History “Caffè Florian,” the founder of the Biennale and the first cafe with a permanent orchestra, serves quick coffee and inhale the heritage, elegance, and beauty of this unique environment. Due to its innovation and function as the Venetian social centre for actors, artists, and intellectuals from all around the world, it has been a benchmark in Venice and Europe since its founding. The caffè faces ruin because of the COVID-19 pandemic, which has reduced the magnificent canal city into a deserted town, rather than pulling out all the brakes. Venetian’s ancient caffè Florian, the world’s oldest, recently marked its 300th anniversary.
