The worst is expected to come in the coming months, when Covid's negative economic effect will be felt more intensely.

"In these two and a half months of lockdown, many craftsmen without any income support have been in difficulty - says Paolo Zabeo della Cgia - and there have been few who hypothesized to throw in the towel and close definitively. A week after the reopening total, however, the mood has changed. There is a desire to fight, to resist, to revive the economic fortunes of one's business. Unfortunately, not everyone will be able to survive with a loss of at least 300 thousand jobs. at the end of the year".
