Founded in Turin, Italy in 1763. Beloved by Italy's first Prime Minister Cavour, philosopher Nietzsche, and Alexandre Dumas, père of "The Three Musketeers" and "The Count of Monte Cristo," Bicerin is Turin's oldest and legendary Italian cafe. The chocolate drink named after the cafe, Bicerin, is said to have been selected by the literary great Hemingway as one of "100 things that should be preserved in the world."
Puccini, the composer famous for works such as "Madame Butterfly," wrote a scene for "Café Momus" modeled after "Bicerin" in his opera "La Boheme," and Umberto II, the last king of Italy, visited "Bicerin" and enjoyed the chocolate drink "Bicerin" before fleeing to Portugal. Even today, the flagship store, located across from the Cathedral of Consolata in Italy, continues to attract many customers.
