The document describes a tradition in Venice, Italy called "caffee sospeso" where customers can pay for extra coffees that are left "suspended" for others who cannot afford them. When a customer pays for more coffees than they drink, the bartender writes it down on a note and hangs it on the wall. Later, someone in need can ask for a "suspended coffee" and receive it without paying. This helps those in need feel part of the community without embarrassment.
