Do you know anything about Campari’s and Biffi’s mentioned in the context?
Campari seems to be some kind of wine, but I can’t find anything about Campari’s on the internet, as well as Biffi’s.
Do you know anything about them?
Thanks. It’s from A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway (Chapter 12).
the context:
You go away in the morning, baby, Rinaldi said. To Rome, I said. No, to Milan. To Milan, said the major, to the Crystal Palace, to the Cova, to Campari's, to Biffi's, to the galleria. You lucky boy. To the Gran Italia, I said, where I will borrow money from George. To the Scala, said Rinaldi. You will go to the Scala. Every night, I said. You won't be able to afford it every night, said the major.
