Tucked away on Corso Vittorio Emanuele II in Turin is a corner of 19th-century history, that holds what is undoubtedly one of the oldest and most fascinating cafes in Italy – Platti.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The caf\u00e9’s history dates back to 1870<\/strong> when the “Principe Umberto” spirits shop<\/strong> opened in the first capital of Italy, later taken over by Ernesto and Pietro Platti and renamed Caff\u00e8 Platti in 1875<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The timeless elegance of the historic Platti coffee shop<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The concept is symbolic of three eras<\/strong>: the pastry room<\/a><\/strong>, with refined Louis XVI furnishings by Valabrega, illuminated by the large original chandeliers and stucco ceilings of baroque design and pastel hues reflected in the mirrors with gilded frames; the coffee room<\/strong> with the 1920s bar counter and stucco ceiling of baroque design with soft colors; and the room decorated with Art Deco<\/strong> cues and rationalist hints created after 1930.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n
