Postcard from Caffè Meletti, an historic bar in Le Marche.
I was excited to visit Ascoli Piceno, in Le Marche, because I wanted to eat olive ascolane at the source.

Anisetta Meletti, first distilled in 1870, predates most other Italian liqueurs. It is customary to drink Meletti with three espresso beans or “mosche” (flies).
