Riccardo Illy served as the Mayor of Trieste, now is the Governor of Friuli-Venezia Giulia that's one of the twenty Regions of Italy. Illy aims to operate in a fair and sustainable coffee market. In Italy Illy is involved in the sponsorship of many cultural events. I suggest you to try an Illy coffee also at your home with a moka! ciao Simone On 9/29/06, Chris Saganich <chs2018@med.cornell.edu> wrote: > So I happened to be wondering through the Time-Warner mall at Columbus > Circle last week when I spied a lot of giant Salgado prints on display, (he > once used a Leica).
