The best ‘buongiorno’ is one accompanied with a delicious cup of cappuccino. When in Rome, start your day like a real Italian with a typical colazione or breakfast: a cappuccino and a cornetto. Buon appetito e buona giornata!
The origin
The term “cappuccino” finds its roots in Capuchin friars’ brown robes, symbolizing the color similarity between the drink and the robes. Originating in Italy, this espresso-based delight gained fame due to its frothy milk top, resembling the Capuchin friars’ hood, called ‘cappuccio’. The name cappuccino, a nod to tradition and visual resemblance, has since become synonymous with the delightful blend of espresso, steamed milk, and foam we enjoy today.
The Italian tradition
In Italy, sipping cappuccino is an art steeped in tradition. The golden rule? It’s a morning delight, never to be enjoyed after noon. And always savor it slowly at the bar, not as a takeaway. The Italian way of enjoying cappuccino is not just about taste; it’s a cultural experience where every cup is a timeless ritual.
