On May 22, Cuneo, Hamburg's oldest Italian restaurant, is celebrating its 120th anniversary with a gala at the St. Pauli Theater featuring artists who are Cuneo regulars. Franca Cuneo is the fourth generation of the family to run the restaurant at Davidstrasse 11, which was founded by her great-grandfather Francesco Alessandro Cuneo in 1905.

In the first decades, the Cuneo was a meeting place for Italian compatriots, but under her father Franco it became a meeting place for artists, journalists, musicians and also business people. The red-painted walls are adorned with art by regulars such as Bruno Bruni, Eduardo Aroyo and Ali Schindehütte, to name but a few. And the jukebox with its Italian songs is legendary.

In addition to film excerpts, the history of the restaurant and the Italians in Hamburg is told with texts and a lot of singing, of course songs from the jukebox.
