"It is ridiculous to beg for the public's benevolence; it must be earned". This sentence captures the orientation with which, in June 1764, Pietro Verri addressed future readers of the new periodical Il Caffè. Why Il Caffè? Because this was the preferred place for intellectuals to meet and discuss their projects.
