The current Procope has only existed since 1957 and has only become a coffee house this year (when the restaurant finally opened a coffee/tea room). The original was already renamed at the start of the nineteenth century and closed at its end. Numerous other businesses occupied the space in the intervening decades. So today's Procope can be considered a homage to the first (successful) coffeehouse, but it is not itself even a century old.
Nice video but the portrait supposed to be of Procopio, can't be his. The portrait's fashion (wig etc) is of a much later period, around 1750's and later, long after Procopio's death. So whose is the portrait we see?
According to Wikimedia commons, the portrait is supposed to represent Francesco Procopio dei Coltelli. It is by an unknown author and displayed at the entrance to the Café Procope. You could be right, it looks as if it belongs to a later period. Thank you for watching.
And yet, his first language was Italian, his parents fought a rebellion against the French. Napoleone di Buonaparte became French only after he was accepted into the French military academy at Brienne, before the 1789 revolution.
how fascinating. I knew it was old but did not know it was the oldest
Thank you for watching, Carola.
Love to be there soon.

Procops was a genius, it appears, and a prolific little devil. He engendered a small town, not a family!! Thank you. Pat.

@@livesandhistories Probably Procopio's grandson then. It would match the fashion and time of the portrait
Poor sound 😢
Napoleon's ideals?
Napoleon waw born at Korsika,he was NO Italian
His family was of Italian origin. Thank you for watching.
And yet, his first language was Italian, his parents fought a rebellion against the French. Napoleone di Buonaparte became French only after he was accepted into the French military academy at Brienne, before the 1789 revolution.
We'd all think very highly of you if you thanked him for his effort as well, and kindness is free as was his informative video. My best regards, Pat
@@meeeka His mother never learned French!
