Truly Italian RootsYour bar at home
The matinée at La Scala has just ended and Mrs. Serenella is heading back to the refined building in which she lives, located in the elegant Corso Venezia area in Milan. She closes the door behind her and walks to the kitchen. There is an automatic coffee machine on display, next to the stove, shining under the light that comes through the window.
She barely touches it when a man in a sophisticated uniform, with a gentle look, appears in front of her. “Good morning, Serenella. The usual?”
“Yes, but we have guests today. Virginia and Maria Sole are coming!”
“Don’t worry: the usual cappuccino for you, a café au lait and an americano. Is that okay?”
“That’s perfect! Save these beverages for the next time, please”.
When her friends arrive, the mysterious man has already disappeared without leaving a trace, like a genie who returned to his lamp after fulfilling a wish.
“How is it possible, Serenella, that we left the theater just a while ago, and everything here is already on the table? Is this a bar?”
The landlady smiles with pleasure. “You know, dear… I’ve brought the bar at home, with me!”
