<DIV><FONT size=2>My Italian dictionary (Sabatini-Coletti, Dizionario italiano
on CD-ROM) says about "cappuccino":</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Bevanda a base di caffè espresso e latte. Deriv. di
"cappuccino 1" per il colore simile a quello del saio... a 1905</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>which means:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Drink made up of café espresso and milk. Derived from
"cappuccino 1" (Capuchin monk clad in a brownish hood) because of the color
similar to that of the hood... Known since 1905</FONT><FONT

<DIV><FONT size=2>Thus it seems hardly propable that the drink was invented by
Mr. Landi in 1938 San Francisco.</FONT></DIV>
