“We are happy that we are once again talking about a central theme for our activities. Dehors are a fundamental element, almost an extension and not only of restaurants, but also bars and ice cream parlors. Certainly, if we could bring about some order at a national level it would be useful“. As Vincenzo Nasipresident of Epat Turin, after the words of the minister Adolfo Urso on the hypothesis of making the rules created following the Covid pandemic stable.
Interested and ready to collaborate
“There is an interest in keeping the outdoor areas open as much as possible, even beyond the season – goes on – because people like to be outside. But there is still some confusion with the rules, also because the competences are municipal and change. However, we have all our support“.
No to exaggerations, balance is needed

Not to allow bad things, but to make the operation feasible for shopkeepers.” But the problem isn’t in costs, on the contrary. “They could be a limit to exaggerations. We were not particularly happy with the extension of the Covid dehors precisely because they had created difficult situations. Our activities must move in balanced conditions and without exaggerations. Many Covid dehors, however, are seen abandoned around the city and this is not good. Likewise, the costs must be sustainable for the companiesAnd”.
