The piano comes from Florence
Bartolomeo Cristofori, an instrument maker at the Medici court in Florence, is considered the inventor of the piano: hammers strike the strings instead of plucking them. Only three of his pianos survive – one is in Leipzig.
Espresso’s first patent came from Turin
In 1884, Angelo Moriondo, owner of a hotel and a bar in Turin, patented a coffee machine that used steam. It is considered the earliest patent for an espresso machine. He built it only for his own establishments.
