Anna, Dadi are also popular as Anna or Nona Anna, officially retired at 60 in 1984. “While she receives a pension of 590 euros and does not earn much money, she continues to work in cafes to enjoy it.” But I don’t need much. The important thing is that I am around people. Then I feel good, “she says.
Non Anna is opening his bar to Central at 7 am since 1958, which is more than six decades. She closes the cafe at seven o’clock in the evening in winter and nine o’clock in the summer. The cafe is open 365 days a year. Non Anna can be found making coffee on Sunday and public holidays. “People also want to drink their coffee on Christmas,” she says.
