(ANSA) - MILAN, 19 DEC - In view of the departure of the pre-Christmas red zone, the Milanese (and not only) today turned up in the center to buy gifts and make a last toast with friends.
There are many groups of kids in the Como area and also in Piazza Duomo, but also couples and families full of packages.
There are also several restaurants full at lunchtime with groups of colleagues, or schoolmates and also crowded the outdoor tables of the famous bars for aperitifs.
Queues have formed in front of many shops: from the Rinascente, in front of the Christmas windows, which for several days has mounted barriers to differentiate income and expenses; but also at Gucci and Vuitton in the Galleria, where the local police regulate the entrances. Some short waits also occurred on the metro, where to respect the quota of 50% of the capacity, the entrance turnstiles to the platforms were closed (for a few minutes) 150 times until 4 pm. (ANSA).
