Italy’s Ministry of Culture prevents the legendary Caffè Greco in Rome

Rome – The Italian Ministry of Culture is strong against the closure of the Caffè Greco at the foot of the Spanish staircase in Rome. The restaurant is considered a historical meeting point for artists and writers. The rental agreement with the owner of the restaurant, the Israelite hospital in Rome, has expired for eight years, and the rent is to be increased significantly, and there was intended evacuation. Now the Ministry insists on monument protection.
