Cappuccino and Cornetto: Rituals of the Italian Breakfast

By: GIULIA SCARPALEGGIA

Italians are often depicted sitting around a crowded dinner table, sharing food, conversation, and laughter, and lingering long after the meal, oblivious to the passing of time. Empty dishes are scattered about, along with wine glasses and espresso cups.
