Il Cenacolo degli Euganei In Vo'

Piazza degli Euganei, thanks to its gardens, beautifully renovated a year ago with beautiful plants, flowers, new trees, and fencing, would be a pleasant space in Tufello. Alas, despite the heroic efforts of volunteers from an environmental association who try to keep them clean, the incivility of its patrons regularly reduces them to a landfill. I try to console myself from the sad sight of the disaster by enjoying a good cappuccino, with a firm foam, at the café of the same name in the square, prepared by the affable Mr. Gigi, manager of this small and charming establishment (as of today, October 18, 2025, the drink still costs €1). Inside, you can see several cheerful gouaches by an unknown painter from Bomarzo, depicting pasta dishes with famous Italian comedians. Looking at them, they reminded me of Catherine Deneuve's words: "Italian men have only two things in their heads; the other is spaghetti." The bar is obviously a morning gathering place for authentic "Tufellesi" (or "Tufellians"?). Enrico Alfonso Ricciardi Neu-Ulm (D)
