In his Italian diaries, Hermann Hesse writes about how he enjoyed his cup of coffee at a table in the sun, in 1913. It is said that Mussolini used to come here in 1915 while convalescing in hospital in Treviglio after being wounded at the beginning of the First World War. The traditional meeting place for smart society in Treviglio, opposite the Basilica of San Martino in the main square, it is a real gem with counters and original early-twentiethcentury furniture and a room with Viennese chairs and little iron and marble tables. The realm of exquisite patisserie, it was here that the “Turta de Treì”, a symbol of Treviglio, was created.
