L'Antica Pesa
In the early Middle Ages, the outer part of the restaurant – what is now called the Antica Pesa of the San Basilio Castle – was equipped with a large weighing place that served as a customs house to collect grain taxes. Historically, the weighing places were transformed by customs officers into refreshments for farmers. An emblem that recounts, by exalting them, the deeper origins of catering.
