The "caffe sospeso" tradition originates in Naples, the idea being that when ordering your coffee you also anonymously gift another to a stranger in need. The idea has now spread internationally, and in some places has been adapted to include pizza or other food items. In a nod to the original Neapolitan custom, the theatre's donated tickets will also come with a steaming cup of coffee, the paper says, courtesy of a local bar whose staff will be in the theatre each night.
