ROTONDA BISTRO

History of a New Limit

I Been for 5 years the barmanager of this amazing and incredible place.

The Rotonda Bistro is located within the Besana Milan, a former cimitery of 1700 were was buried for centuries over 150.000 Christians.

In the passing of the centuries became the Besana from Cemetery memorial chapel, a barracks, a clinic and only in recent years the city of Milan's restored the entire properly.

in 2014 within the Besana comes Muba, the museum of the child, along with the Rotonda Bistro. Thanks to a service limit established by the museum with imposes the use of bottles alcoholic not exceeding 21% abv and I had to upset the rules of cocktail to get the drink completely unique.

The absence of spirits like rum, vodka, whiskeys, gin, led us to discovery of a new world.

This particular limitation has intrigued many people including customers, Bartenders, media, and we are pleased to surprise them with our drinks

Another curiosity....many of our drinks are called and recall the history of Besana as the Famedio, Besanino, Cavedio, Ionicis, Pantheon.

Cocktail Art

I created cocktail art in 2013 for sharing photos of cocktail between colleagues around the world.

Once created the group became immediate feedback.

Bartender colleagues from around the world have begun to share their artistic images of cocktail art, tattoos, drawings, paintings and poems.

From about 180 countries worldwide and 24h-24h share their works of art in respect of the profession. The group currently sees over 15.000 colleagues bartender and over 30.000 photos.

Thanks to this simple but fantastic idea cocktail art has become a respected and followed the group so as to create small seminars throughout Italy that talk about how to exploit the potential of the web and social media and how through the history of the cocktail of vision cocktail art came to us
