Angelo Moriondo, who was born in Turin, Italy, on June 6, 1851, was the inventor of the first known espresso machine.
Moriondo was born into an entrepreneurial family; his grandfather founded a liquor manufacturing firm. His father founded the well-known chocolate company “Moriondo & Gariglio.”
Moriondo acquired two places, the Grand-Hotel Ligure in Piazza Carlo Felice’s city center and the American Bar in the Galleria Nazionale of Via Roma, following his family’s tradition.
