Before it is too late, before Italy is closed, it tries to reorganize its life . And plan 'limited number' social activities. Many, very many businesses that have chosen to close or to work only by appointment thus increasing online commerce by providing free delivery for customers.
Online shopping
The large groups of the organized distribution have long offered the online shopping service . From Coop to Carrefour to Esselunga , just to name a few, it is possible to make your own purchases on the dedicated sites and have them delivered to your home by choosing the day, time and time slots. With promotions, discounts and offers dedicated to online customers . It is not only large groups but also traditional retail stores and many markets that offer, with the various exhibitors the possibility to choose and buy directly from home. Social posts abound with the craft and commercial activities that have decided to make drastic decisions. And so the 'piazza' becomes virtual (vintagemarketroma.it for example, with the market shift scheduled for March 22 in Rome) and the various exhibitors organized themselves to offer customers the opportunity to browse and choose the same only that the shelf and the desk will scroll on the screens of pc, tablet and mobile phones
On instagram Valentina of the interior decoration shop La corallina in Florence explains the decision to close the family business while continuing the workshop. Valentina in a precise video that could have written a post but instead 'wanted to put her face on it'. Customers all at home, therefore, and to encourage sales in any case, free shipping also city by city.
So in Cesena Federica of 'The world of Yaga' he explains with a sign on the shop door to continue the activity by appointment only in 'respect for the limitations prepared until March 15'. 'I made my choice -explain on instagram- whether shared or not is irrevocable.'
Out to dinner
Pubs, bars and restaurants are the first frontier of the new 'social life' . The entrances to the premises are limited, there can be no crowding at the counter and the seats must still respect the distance of one meter between the customers. And here space for imagination. With the hashtag #adistanzamanondistanti BeefBazar in Rome, in the Prati district he informs us that 'we have gone from 250 seats to 100. We will try to work on 2 shifts and sanitize everything during the entire service. Because it doesn't stop everything, but everything must be done in safety. '
The same street has been chosen by many Roman and Milanese restaurants that have decided not to close. Even in the South the music remains the same. In Taviano, a town in the province of Lecce in the heart of Salento, the Puteca (Bottega) 'MezzoGaudio' with a very original location in an alley in the historic center revises the distance between the tables. And in the capital the local 'Zia Rosetta' decides 'to calm the customers and support the mood we decided to work with the masks' only that they are carnival masks. And also in these cases #iorestoacasa wins : takeaway gastronomy is ready in many restaurants.
