Support the nomination of “Italian espresso coffee between culture, ritual, sociability and literature in the emblematic communities from Venice to Naples” as UNESCO intangible heritage of humanity.
Ritual, culture and tradition are three elements of Italian espresso that are representative of our country’s cultural identity. Through the nomination of “Italian espresso coffee between culture, ritual, sociability and literature in the emblematic communities from Venice to Naples” as UNESCO intangible heritage of humanity, the “Traditional Italian Espresso Consortium” is championing the values that make Italian espresso heritage worthy of protection at international level and is committed to the dissemination and promotion of these values.
ITALIAN ESPRESSO IS A RITUAL
An inclusive and democratic gesture that deserves to be valued.
Drinking coffee is a daily ritual that allows us to share carefree moments with friends and colleagues. An inclusive, democratic and essential gesture linked to traditions and our way of life.
ITALIAN ESPRESSO IS CULTURE
A 100-year history that should be promoted.
Since the 18th century, coffee has been a narrative device for writers, poets and songwriters. Formally recognising the coffee ritual by giving it UNESCO intangible heritage status also means keeping the tradition alive.
ITALIAN ESPRESSO IS TRADITION
A journey into our roots, habits and customs.
The recipe for making a perfect Italian espresso has been handed down through generations of coffee roasters and master coffee makers. Consumption habits have evolved alongside society.
If you are also a coffee lover like us, sign up to support the nomination of the espresso coffee ritual for UNESCO status. Help us speed up this recognition!
