Set in the courtyards of Le Murate, a former prison restored under Renzo Piano, this literary café became the cultural heart of Sant'Ambrogio, hosting concerts, talks and exhibitions on a stretch of Via Ghibellina tourists rarely reach. By day it is coffee and books on a couch; by night, aperitivo and live music outdoors. Civic Florence at its best.
