The popularity of Via Dei Condotti means it is always thronged with visitors. Fortunately they are not all there to shop, as this is one of the most exclusive streets in Italy, and most people are drawn in purely by the window-shopping and people-watching.

Via Dei Condotti is also home to Caffè Greco, perhaps the most famous caffè in Rome, established in 1760. Over the years it’s attracted towering figures in literature and the arts, such as Stendhal, Goethe, Byron, Liszt and Keats.

The Caffè Greco, or rather, Antico Caffè Greco, has almost completed two centuries of uninterrupted business. The window next to the entrance at 86 via Condotti reads ‘A.D. 1760’, although unfortunately we do not have the relevant documents on the origins of the shop.

Domenico Gnoli once believed that this “Levantine” could be linked with the picture of a “Turk” found in an engraving by Nicholas Bocquet- a largely unknown artist who worked in Rome and Paris at the end of the seventeenth century (and therefore at least sixty years before the supposed birth of the Greco). It is a Parisian engraving, “Se vend Rue St. Jacques, au Grand Monarque” with a bilingual caption—four lines of approximate Italian and four of flavoursome French.
