The famous cafe where Gogol wrote "Dead Souls" has closed in Rome

In Rome, the famous literary cafe Antico Caffe Greco was closed, at the table of which Nikolai Gogol wrote "Dead Souls". This is reported by the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.

The cafe, located in a prestigious area of Rome and operating since 1760, closed after a seven-year legal battle between its management and the owners of the building. The conflict began back in 2017, when the lease of the premises expired, and the cafe management tried to extend the contract, but was faced with a refusal from the owner. The dispute lasted for almost 8 years.

The building where the cafe was located belongs to Rome's Israel Hospital. Its management has already announced that a new facility will be opened on the site of Antico Caffe Greco, but details about its concept remain unknown.

In January, it was reported that a pub that had been operating for 460 years had closed in the county of North Yorkshire in the north of England. It was reported that the current tenants of the premises in which the pub is located, after the expiration of the contract, did not want to renew it and decided to stop trading. The establishment currently belongs to the Heineken UK's Star Pubs chain.
