Patrick Mauriès explores Italian cafe culture in new essay
The publisher Elba has released 'Quelques cafés italiens' (Some Italian Cafes), an essay by Patrick Mauriès. Translated by Ernesto Hernández Busto and featuring a prologue by Albert Serra, the 96-page book offers a semiotic exploration of Italian cafe culture.
Mauriès, a former disciple of Roland Barthes, examines how Italy has preserved historical cafes—some dating back to the 18th century—as living monuments. He characterizes these spaces as 'theaters of shadows' that serve as refuges for identity and sites where the past and present intersect through chance encounters and writing.
