The cities change and between transfers and demographic decline, even in Mestre the 'Italian' cradles become a rarity. It is above all Bengali or Indian mothers who increase the population of the Venetian mainland. So even a historic shop for strollers and clothes in the center of Mestre, 'Cecchetto', has decided to evolve, putting bilingual price plates in the shop windows for the first time, in Italian and in the language of the state overlooking the Bay of Bengal. An ethnic group, the Bangladeshi, which is slowly 'conquering' a good part of the city. Cecchetto has been open in Mestre since 1959, it is located two steps from the central Piazza Ferretto. Over the years it has provided cots, cots, changing tables and high chairs for generations of Mestre inhabitants, often from the wealthiest part of the residents. of the city. It is also known for its showcase full of plush toys, even oversized ones. The choice of b-language cards is obviously commercial, but it is also necessary, because many Bengali couples, perhaps in Italy recently, do not understand Italian so well. "But what do you want something like this to be like - says the owner, Andrea Cecchetto - Just look around to see how many Bengali mothers there are. The world has changed and consequently the cities have also changed. Mestre is no different".
