I'm late period, and I can make a case for my own self having had contact
with late Renaissance Italy; in fact, I chose a late period persona pre-
cisely because coffee was tangentially around, and there was more docu-
mentation for my two big interests, dance and cooking.  

In any event, we're not at an event!  let's all go have some and return
to our terminals, shall we?
