In the sixties Marcello Forti decides to leave Busci, a village in the province of L'Aquila, to come to Rome, in search of a new job perspective. Initially he does different jobs always in the restaurant industry. From dishwasher to waiter to assistant chef. At the end of the '60s he had the opportunity to buy the bar, which was on sale by the previous management. Initially it was just a shutter with a haberdashery store next to it, then, since things were going well and there was a need for space inside, when the haberdashery shop decided to close Marcello did not miss the chance to expand. Now, even on cold days you can eat in the inner room full of paintings and memories that the many lovers of Bar San Calisto, have produced.
