Consortium argues that the Italian drink, and the rituals surrounding it, deserve World Heritage status. | TheCurrentCBC
Normally when you think of UNESCO, you probably think of the safeguarding of iconic monuments.
"We need to have this fantastic beverage recognized as immaterial heritage of humanity," Maria Chiara Gadda, an MP with the Italia Viva party, told"In Italy, coffee is sociality, it's tradition, and it is a manner of production. So we need to distinguish ... traditional Italian coffee [from] other coffee," she said.
Unlike in Canada, the Italian coffee shop is not somewhere to go to pull out your laptop, put your head down and get work done. "Free Wi-Fi is a concept [that] today is not common to [the] concept of Italian espresso coffee," Cerulo said. It's that sort of ritual that makes "a public space where a lot of people can talk about several arguments without [thinking about their] differences about class, about culture, about the financial situation, about religion," said Cerulo.
