What is Applaudito a Corfu?
Applaudito takes its inspiration from an 18th-century Corfiot tradition. Before performing at Europe's great Opera Houses, lyric singers had to earn their applause before the demanding Corfiot audiences at the Nobile Teatro di San Giacomo. Those who succeeded earned the title 'Applaudito a Corfu'. That building is now Corfu's Town Hall, and our shop has stood ten metres away since 1951.
