The UNESCO committee in Italy has rejected an application to include espresso coffee in the country's intangible cultural heritage, but approved the application for Italian opera.
The committee chaired by Franco Bernabe announced that the Italian art of opera will proceed as a candidate for presentation to UNESCO's intergovernmental committee for 2023.
The application for coffee included the rationale for espresso coffee's contribution to culture, rituals, society and literature in iconic regions from Venice to Naples.
