Gran Caffè Doney or Doney's was a cafeteria in Florence established at the end of the 19th century. It was originally located in the Palazzina Reale in the Cascine Park (19th century), then moved on Via Tornabuoni, near the British Consulate. The Doney was favoured by aristocracy and upper middle-class, particularly by British citizens living in Florence, such as The Scorpioni. When Benito Mussolini attacked Abyssinia (now Ethiopia), the British expressed their public disapproval. This led to some outbreaks of Fascist violence at the Gran Caffè Doney in 1935–36.

  • Gran Caffè Doney or Doney's was a cafeteria in Florence established at the end of the 19th century. It was originally located in the Palazzina Reale in the Cascine Park (19th century), then moved on Via Tornabuoni, near the British Consulate. The Doney was favoured by aristocracy and upper middle-class, particularly by British citizens living in Florence, such as The Scorpioni. When Benito Mussolini attacked Abyssinia (now Ethiopia), the British expressed their public disapproval. This led to some outbreaks of Fascist violence at the Gran Caffè Doney in 1935–36. The most famous customers of Gran Caffè Doney were socialite Violet Trefusis who was an acquaintance of Mussolini himself, and a group of elderly English ladies called The Scorpioni who resided in Florence between the World Wars. The cafeteria closed down in 1986. Gran Caffè Doney is also one of the main settings in Franco Zeffirelli's autobiographical film Tea with Mussolini. (en)

  • Gran Caffé Doney of kortweg Doney's was een cafeteria in Florence voor de Tweede Wereldoorlog. Oorspronkelijk was het gevestigd in de Palazzina Reale in het Cascine Park (in de 19e eeuw), maar verhuisde naar de Via Tornabuoni, dicht bij het Britse consulaat. Doney werd vooral druk bezocht door de Britten die in Florence woonden. Toen Benito Mussolini Abessinië (tegenwoordig Ethiopië) aanviel, spraken de Britten hier publiekelijk hun afkeuring over uit, hetgeen leidde tot het uitbreken van rellen en fascistisch geweld in het Gran Caffé Doney in 1935 en 1936. De beroemdste bezoekers van het Gran Caffé Doney was mevrouw Violet Trefusis die in 1937 op audiëntie mocht komen bij Mussolini, en een groep Engelse dames genaamd de Scorpioni, die erg actief waren in Florence tussen de twee wereldoorlogen. Gran Caffé Doney wordt ook genoemd in Franco Zeffirelli's autobiografische film . Tegenwoordig is het Gran Caffé Doney in het Excelsior hotel in Rome gevestigd. (nl)
