Centuries ago, the bubonic plague also known as the “black death” swept through Europe and killed over 25 million people, almost a third of the continent’s population. The plague from Asia spread to Italy during the late Middle Ages and continued making its way north.

According to Insider, the windows were first introduced in the 1600s and they were never used again until the current pandemic. “During this time, some enterprising Florentine Wine Window owners have turned back the clock and are using their Wine Windows to dispense glasses of wine, cups of coffee, drinks, sandwiches and ice cream — all germ-free, contactless!”

“The wine windows gradually became defunct, and many wooden ones were permanently lost in the floods of 1966,” said Faglia.
