Italian Catering Businesses in the Cynon Valley (Wales). Ristorazione Italiana nella Cynon Valley. By cynonvalleymuseum.wales
The old Italian cafes of Valleys’ towns and villages evoke images of cosy, friendly, and warm establishments where you could go with friends and family to relax, eat, and drink. Many of us have such fond memories. You would have an authentic, homely experience far removed from the corporate coffee chains dominating our communities today. The original Italian run cafes were a key contribution to the social and cultural life of South Wales by the Italian community, although their numbers have sadly declined significantly. Yet such are the ties between the two nations, ‘The Welsh are the Italians in the rain’, to quote journalist Rene Cutforth (BBC, 2008). Indeed, journalist Pamela Peto observed in 1990 that “The greatest concentration of Italian cafés outside of Italy is in Wales” (Joel Denker, undated). This may not be true now, yet their legacy of enriching Welsh life remains……..I vecchi caffè italiani delle città e dei villaggi delle Valleys evocano immagini di locali accoglienti, amichevoli e calorosi dove potresti andare con amici e familiari per rilassarti, mangiare e bere. Molti di noi hanno ricordi così belli. Avresti un’esperienza autentica e familiare, molto lontana dalle catene di caffè aziendali che dominano le nostre comunità oggi. I caffè a conduzione italiana originali sono stati un contributo chiave alla vita sociale e culturale del Galles meridionale da parte della comunità italiana, sebbene il loro numero sia purtroppo diminuito in modo significativo. Eppure tali sono i legami tra le due nazioni, “I gallesi sono gli italiani sotto la pioggia”, per citare il giornalista Rene Cutforth (BBC, 2008). La giornalista Pamela Peto, infatti, osservò nel 1990 che “La più grande concentrazione di caffè italiani fuori dall’Italia è in Galles” (Joel Denker, senza data). Questo potrebbe non essere vero ora, ma la loro eredità di arricchire la vita gallese rimane.
