(ANSA) - ROME, FEBRUARY 26 - In the fourth quarter of 2020 Italian restaurants lost 11.1 billion euros, thus closing with a -44.3% turnover compared to the same period of 2019. This is certified by the Fipe-Confcommercio Studies Office which processed the Istat data released this morning. A result determined by what was, in effect, a second autumn lockdown for the catering sector which, overall, lost 34.6 billion euros last year, 36.2% compared to the pre-Covid period. "We are facing an apparently endless abyss", comments the Italian Federation of Public Outlets, highlighting that with "the end of March, the fifth consecutive quarter with a negative sign for a sector that represents, more than any other, Italian spirit will probably close. . A sector which, in addition to directly giving 1.3 million people work, represents the essential terminal of the agri-food chain. Numbers that require at least a gradual reopening to prevent the whole sector from going into default ". (HANDLE).
