The Eighth King of Rome: when history takes a seat at Alfredo\u2019s table<\/h2>\n

Many historic establishments hold a wealth of fascinating anecdotes featuring the greatest figures of the past. Among the members of our Association, the restaurant *Il Vero Alfredo* in Piazza Augusto Imperatore in Rome represents much more than just a culinary destination: it is a veritable living archive of 20th-century world history.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this splendid feature by Morello Pecchioli for *La Verit\u00e0*, we are transported back to March 1953. A young and charismatic senator from Massachusetts, not yet aware of the destiny that would lead him to the White House, steps through the door of the restaurant, seeking to understand the very soul of Italy, but also that of his fellow countrymen who were so enamoured of \u2018Il Vero Alfredo\u2019. That man was John Fitzgerald Kennedy.<\/span><\/p>\n
