ALESSANDRIA – On Saturday he raised the shutter of the Creperie “Avarice” for the last time. Michele De Lisi after 22 years behind the counter premises in Corso IV Novembre in Alessandria he decided to “change your life”. She wanted to leave”under the radar” and announced his decision only yesterday, with a short video on Facebook. With his cell phone he filmed the moment when the creperie opened and with the writing “Last Night” putting on that video has left many of the many customers and friends in disbelief.
There creperie will only be closed for a few dayshe assured, and then in May it will reopen under new management but theMichele’s farewell nevertheless marks the end of an era for many Alessandria people, and not only. It will certainly be strange to no longer find him behind the counter with the “BxBiretta” t-shirt and not even see him move between the tables in the pub or in the outdoor area to serve crepes and sandwiches.
Work in the restaurant industry is not easy,”usury”, and Michele made his decision. It wasn’t easy, however, to raise the shutter of the Creperie for the last time and it was certainly even less so to lower it. Just before welcoming customers for “last night” in his pub, Michele barely held back his emotion: “I decided it, for personal reasons, but it’s still difficult”. There are those who are “grown up” eating Michele’s sweet and healthy crepes and even if the crepes will still be there upon entering the restaurant in Corso IV Novembre, many are certainly sorry that he will no longer be there. On Saturday there were those who organized themselves after seeing the post on Facebook “for one last beer”. Those who didn’t make it through still left a wish “good life” to the historic manager of the Creperie in Corso IV Novembre who accompanied the evenings of many Alessandria residents.
