ILLY: THE WHOLE WORLD OF COFFEE CULTURE
Deeply convinced that coffee is an element of friendship, encounter, pleasure and enjoyment, the illy company has been taking Italian coffee culture to the world since 1933. Born in Hungary, Francesco illy came to Trieste after the First World War. Creative, ingenious and cosmopolitan as he was, he found here the three great loves of his life: his wife, the city of Trieste and coffee. He founded the illy caffè company. Gradually he became interested in cocoa and coffee, which arrived at the port of Trieste from all parts of the world. Today, the illy family is the third generation to run the company and is known for its authentic illy espresso.
