Gianni Battistoni, president of Via Condotti Business Association, said, "The only thing that hasn't changed here after the epidemic is the ridiculously high store rent."
Italian media said that this summer in Rome was very "special". Stroll through the three busiest business districts between Rome's People's Square and Spain's Square, and you will find that "Recovery" seems to have never been here.
Two months after the reopening of the store, the business and trade activities in the historical center of Rome have not improved much. In Rome's well-known block "Plaza de Espa?", many shops are still closed, and the passenger flow is only 15%.
David Sermoneta, president of the Business Federation of the Historical Center of Rome, said that the impact of the epidemic on Rome's "heartland" was enormous. "Some small businesses shut down their shops permanently and give up their careers completely." The "core" of the crisis is that foreign tourists "disappeared".
