- The '' Caffe 'Florian' 'in Venice opened its doors to patrons on December 29, 1720: the place, created by Floriano Francesconi in the eighteenth century in Piazza San Marco, is therefore 300 years old and today it is a valid stamp to remember it for ordinary mail directed to Italy.
The vignette depicts the exterior glass window of the café on which a detail of the Doge's Palace is reflected, testifying to the incredible position of the room whose magnificent rooms have seen Venetian noblemen and Risorgimento conspirators pass by and have survived the fall of the `` Serenissima '' and two world wars until today, keeping their charm intact. In fact, in the illustrative bulletin accompanying the issue, it is noted that '' the Florian heritage contains all the qualities, traditions and characteristics of a lifestyle that have persisted over the centuries and handed down from one generation to the next and have become a icon of Italian style ''.
