    The oldest coffee in Pisa and the third in Italy, after the Florian of Venice (1720) and the Greco of Rome (1760). Founded in 1775 the Caffè dell'Ussero, which owes its name to a group of hussars who arrived in Pisa together with the Grand Duke Francesco I of Lorena and his wife Maria Teresa of Austria and hosted in these spaces in 1750, immediately became a meeting place for the whole Pisan university society, forge of Italian enlightenment and Risorgimento ideas. The departure of the university battalion's expedition to Curtatone and Montanara was organized within its walls. It had many names, including the Union Café, when it hosted the meetings of the scientists present in Pisa for the First Congress of Italian Scientists. A legend tells that in the premises of the Agostini palace a French Husser was imprisoned and walled up alive, whose ghost, wandering around the ancient building, would make the chains with which he was tied up in a mournful ring, which is why Caffè dell’Ussero.

      You should plan to visit the Palazzo Augostini building in which the café is located as it has a beautiful, richly decorated facade.
