During the 1930s, it was fashionable to sit at a table at La Capannina at sunset and sip a Negroni. Among the attendees, one could spot nobles such as Della Gherardesca, Rucellai, Rospigliosi and Sforza; poets and intellectuals of the calibre of Repaci, Ungaretti, Montale, Levi and Pea. Following an infamous fire, the venue was rebuilt in 1939 and since then the structure has not undergone significant modifications.
