Caffè Florian first opened its doors in Saint Mark's Square, Venice in 1720, under the name of "Alla Venezia Trionfante" by its owner Floriano Francesconi, but the clientele soon took to calling it simply "Florian". For nearly three centuries Florian has also been the meeting-place of famous artists, writers, intellectuals and politicians such as Lord Byron, Goethe and Casanova. The symbol of style and quality, the Florian brand offers a selection of exclusive and prestigious products representing the art of elegant living. The Gourmet range, the Lifestyle line and the Design collection are characterized by the refined Italian taste and the excellent quality of the products. Available in the boutique corner at the Florian in Venice, Florence, London and on the website www.caffeflorian.com
