Caffè & Pasticceria dell'Ussero dal 1775

Caffe & Pasticceria dell'Ussero dal 1775 sits inside a Red Palace in Pisa, formed when the Astajo family fused two medieval riverside towers into one terracotta-clad palazzo in the thirteen hundreds. The guide points out the original Gothic windows above the awning, a walled-in loggia, and a facade that has been tilting for six centuries as the ground beneath one tower settles unevenly. It also traces how this ground floor became a coffee house, gathering hussars and later university radicals under its terracotta-framed windows.
